The Becket Fund makes its case for religious freedom in the court of public opinion, as well as the courts of law.

Our cases garner extensive news coverage in all forms -- press, internet, television, and radio.  In addition, our attorneys and professional staff deliver our message by publishing op-eds, delivering public lectures, and providing expert commentary on television and radio.

To stay informed about the activities of The Becket Fund, please visit our four specialized websites, which are dedicated to particular religious freedom topics:

• www.rluipa.org -- Recent developments under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA).
• www.blaineamendments.org -- History, news, and views regarding Blaine Amendments, which are discriminatory state constitutional barriers to religion-neutral school vouchers and similar government aid.
• www.lankaliberty.org -- Tracking anti-coversion legislation and other forms of persecution of religious minorities in Sri Lanka.
• www.freepreach.org -- Monitoring government punishment of disfavored preaching from the pulpit.

Below is a reverse chronological list of all our news releases.  For more detailed information on each case, including links to news coverage, visit the alphabetical list of case descriptions on the litigation page of this site.
