A major Supreme Court victory was handed down today.
In an 8–1 decision in Chiles v. Salazar, the Court ruled in favor of free speech, religious freedom, and the right to seek talk therapy aligned with one’s beliefs.
Family Policy Alliance was part of this win.
Since 2013, alongside our network of state Family Policy Councils, we have worked to oppose unconstitutional bans on talk therapy. In this case, we filed a key amicus brief with Summit Ministries and Colson Center in support of Kaley Chiles.
Colorado had banned certain voluntary talk therapy conversations, claiming they were “conduct,” not speech. The Supreme Court made it clear: talk therapy is speech and it is protected. The government cannot censor private conversations between a counselor and client.
Why this decision matters:
- Protects free speech, even in private conversations
- Defends religious freedom
- Ensures people can seek care aligned with their beliefs
This victory was years in the making, and it would not have happened without faithful supporters like you.
Please continue to stand with us:
- Pray for continued protection of our First Amendment freedoms
- Forward this email or share this victory with others on social media
- Support Family Policy Alliance as we keep fighting for families
For freedom,
Craig DeRoche,
President & CEO Family Policy Alliance
