Three Plano moms. Arrested. Booked. Jailed. Their crime? Refusing to hand their kids' booster club over to Plano ISD. Now Laura Cervantes and the Jasper Choir Booster Club are suing Plano ISD for violating their First, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, from the unlawful takeover of their nonprofit to the retaliatory arrests that followed. Citizens Defending Freedom established the "Stand With Laura Cervantes Fund" to help cover what will surely be a lengthy and costly fight. This isn't just Laura's fight. If Plano ISD is not held accountable, every parent-run organization and parent volunteer in the country is at risk. Will you stand with us?

A good father may never know the full impact of his presence. It's in the confidence he builds. The values he teaches. The example he sets. The love he shows day after day. Strong fathers help build strong families. Strong families help build strong communities. In a culture that often minimizes the role of dads, we're choosing to celebrate, support, and strengthen fatherhood. To every father who shows up, sacrifices, leads, protects, teaches, and loves. Thank you. Comment FATHER and we'll send you our free toolkit and resources to get involved.

So glad to see this story getting attention. Citizens Defending Freedom has been working behind the scenes to equip, support, and connect citizens with the resources needed to stand up for their rights and hold government accountable. This is what grassroots action looks like.

"We can't stay silent and expect things to change." Pastor Davis spoke before his local school board, urging leaders to protect children and uphold community standards. Real change doesn't start in Washington. It starts when ordinary citizens show up at school board meetings, city councils, and state legislatures to make their voices heard. The good news? You don't have to do it alone. At Citizens Defending Freedom, we're equipping Americans with the tools, resources, and support needed to take meaningful action in their communities. 🇺🇸 Subscribe to join the fight for faith, family, and freedom.

"This isn't about banning books. It's about protecting children and restoring parental authority." CDF Florida Education Director Kathleen Murray testified in support of HB 1119, standing for parental rights, child protection, and age-appropriate standards in schools. Parents—not government agencies, school boards, or activist groups—should have the final say in what their children are exposed to. No matter where you live, there are ways to get involved in your community and advocate for policies that protect children and empower parents. Comment RESOURCE and we'll send you access to our Resource Library, where you can find state-specific and national tools, guides, and action steps to help make a difference in your community. Do you believe parents should have the final authority over what their children can access in school?

What started as a call to prayer has grown into a movement of Americans gathering across the nation to seek God, stand for truth, and pray for our communities, states, and country. We celebrated our 250th Prayer & Repentance Rally in Corpus Christi, Texas. We are grateful for every volunteer, pastor, prayer warrior, and supporter who has joined us along the way. As our nation faces unprecedented challenges, we remain committed to humbling ourselves before God, praying for our leaders, and standing firm in defense of faith, family, and freedom. The work continues. The prayers continue 🙏🏻🇺🇸

The culture didn’t change overnight. And it won’t be restored overnight either. While others stay silent, back down, or wait for someone else to lead… we will continue showing up. Citizens Defending Freedom is committed to engaging both the church and the culture because this moment demands more than passive concern. 👉 Comment CDF if you’re ready to stop watching from the sidelines and start making an impact.

Most pastors are waiting for the perfect moment to speak. That moment isn't coming. Silence isn't neutral. It's a message. And your people are reading it. Every week you don't address what's happening in culture, someone in your congregation fills that void, with TikTok, with podcasts, with voices that don't share your values. You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to show up and lead. The shepherd who goes quiet doesn't keep the sheep safe. He just leaves them unprotected. Speak. Even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard. Your silence is shaping your people. So is your courage.

People are tired of feeling like they’re only getting half the story. That’s why knowing how to access public information for yourself matters. Citizens Defending Freedom created a Citizens Guide to Public Information Requests to help everyday Americans learn how to request and obtain public records directly. 👉 Comment INFO and we’ll send it to you.

Freedom isn't free. This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives in military service to our country. Their sacrifice shaped generations and reminds us that freedom has always carried a cost. Today isn't just about a long weekend. It's about remembrance. Join us in honoring our fallen heroes below. 🇺🇸

The Church was never meant to sit on the sidelines. For generations, churches helped shape communities, families, faith, and civic engagement. Today many people are asking: What role should the Church play in culture, leadership, and local communities? Watch this perspective and tell us: What should faith in action look like today? Comment FAITH if you're looking for tools and resources.

Do you actually know what’s sitting on your child’s school library shelves? Most parents don’t. And if they did… they’d be asking a lot more questions. That’s why Citizens Defending Freedom created a step-by-step toolkit to help you: Find out what books are in your school Understand what’s appropriate (and what’s not) Take action Go to citizensdefendingfreedom.com… today

This didn’t start in Washington. And it won’t be saved there either. Freedom was built by people who took responsibility for it. Not people who waited for someone else to fix things. Right now, most people feel it. Something is off. But they don’t know what to do about it. That’s the gap. We exist to close it. Citizens Defending Freedom equips everyday Americans and churches with the tools, clarity, and confidence to actually take action where it matters most… locally. Because real change doesn’t start in politics. It starts in communities. It starts with people like you. 👉 If you’ve been feeling the weight of “someone should do something”… this is your sign.
