ADF congratulates President Donald Trump on his inauguration
The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO, President, and General Counsel Kristen Waggoner regarding the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States:
“The inauguration of Donald Trump as our 47th president marks a pivotal moment for our country. After enduring stifling authoritarianism at home and witnessing it abroad, Americans want a government that protects inalienable rights and honors the rule of law.
“With God’s help, we hope to begin a new chapter as President Trump works to deliver on his promises: a return to the fundamental liberties and commonsense values that have made this nation flourish.
“Alliance Defending Freedom stands ready to assist. We welcome a new administration that will work with us—not against us—as we safeguard our fundamental liberties and advance every person’s God-given right to live and speak the truth.
“Our prayers are with President Trump, Vice President Vance, and the nation. May God give wisdom to our leaders and a future of prosperity to our children.”
Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
