One group of activists is trying to discourage donations—simply because these advocates want to block people from giving money to organizations that hold different opinions than they do.Unmasking Fidelity is pressuring Fidelity Charitable, one of the country’s largest grant-maker organizations, to disclose its past contributions to 10 targeted organizations with which these activists disagree ideologically, including Alliance Defending Freedom.By demanding that Fidelity reveal donations to organizations such as the Family Research Council, Turning Point USA, and ADF, Unmasking Fidelity is attempting to blackball these organizations, punishing them and their supporters for supporting causes millions of Americans endorse—free speech, religious freedom, and pro-life, family values. It’s also demanding that Fidelity Charitable require all organizations to pass a viewpoint-based litmus test before they can receive account-holder donations, a clear violation of freedom of association.Every American should have the freedom to give to the causes they support without fearing that either their private donations will be revealed to the public or that they will be harassed in the court of public opinion for doing so. This would damage not only freedom of association but also freedom of speech, as “cancel culture” and disrespect for diversity of thought reap real ramifications.We have already seen this tested in court. Just last year, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a California law that required all nonprofit organizations that solicit donations in the state to disclose the names and private information (such as addresses) of major donors to the attorney general’s office annually.

Here is how you can pray:

Legislative

Pray that states will enact legislation protecting the rights of freedom of association and freedom of speech.

Culture

Pray that America will renew its commitment to viewpoint diversity and stop embracing the toxic nature of “cancel culture.”

Church

Pray that churches will be fearless and obedient in sharing the Gospel despite culture’s growing resistance to the truth.
