Dear Friend,

There’s a lot going on, so we promise to keep this short.

If you’re feeling exhausted by this year’s nonstop political chaos, court battles, and news cycle – you’re not alone. Everyone at Americans United for Separation of Church and State feel it, too.

For nearly 80 years, Americans United – or AU for short – has defended church-state separation against waves of Christian Nationalism in so many of the issues we all care about: public education, LGBTQ+ equality, reproductive freedom, civil rights, and more.

Even in a year this overwhelming, we want you to know that AU has held the line. We’ve protected lives, changed laws, and upheld freedoms every day. From the courtroom to the classroom to the community, we deliver real results that defend people’s rights across the country. But that work only happens because of supporters like you.

So here’s our offer:

We’re launching Giving Tuesday with a 24-hour, 3x match. 

For the next 24 hours, your gift will be TRIPLED – helping Americans United fight in the courts, in the legislatures, and the public square for freedom without favor and equality without exception.

It’s your chance to take one thing off your plate while still helping AU fight back against the rising tide of Christian Nationalism in 2026 and beyond.

Thank you for everything you do to keep the wall of separation intact. We couldn’t be here without you.

In solidarity,

Americans United for Separation of Church and State

*Online contributions will be matched through December 2, 2025, up to a limit of $75,000. All gifts made in excess of this limit will still provide valuable funding for AU’s efforts to defend church-state separation.
