In 1776, America declared independence—but more importantly, we declared something greater:
Our rights come from God, not government.
That idea changed the world. And it’s what we’re honoring in this once-in-a-generation campaign: 250 Years of Faith and Freedom.
This historic initiative from First Liberty Institute will celebrate America’s First Freedom—Religious Liberty—from now until July 4, 2026.
And you’re part of it.
Watch First Liberty’s Kelly Shackelford discuss the importance of America’s 250th, the role religious liberty plays in keeping us free and why First Liberty is focused on securing our First Freedom for generations to come.
