Americans United for Separation of Church and State is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1947 that champions constitutional church‑state separation to safeguard religious freedom for all Americans. The group employs high‑impact litigation, lobbying, and grassroots advocacy to protect civil rights, the Free Exercise Clause, the Establishment Clause, and the broader First Amendment. Its distinctive strength lies in a diverse national network of lawyers, activists, students, and religious leaders who collaborate across faiths and backgrounds. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Americans United leverages this broad coalition to influence public policy and defend religious liberty throughout the country.
