San Fernando Valley Chapter

What your donation is used for: Americans United files briefs before the Supreme Court and lower courts in order to vigorously defend religious liberty. Our legal department maintains a vigilant watch over developing cases and works to make sure our religious freedom is not infringed upon.

We testify before the U.S. Congress, state legislatures and other government bodies. We also train our chapter organizers to monitor and provide testimony before legislative bodies and agencies in their own communities.

We promote church and state separation in the news media, providing expert commentary on breaking religious liberty developments.

Our primary goal is to educate the public regarding the importance of the religious liberty through the separation of church and state. Americans United also works to preserve public education by opposing efforts that would introduce sectarian worship practices into public schools or divert tax aid to religiously affiliated private schools.
