About
The American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) is a nonprofit public interest law firm and legal advocacy group founded in 2012 by attorneys David Yerushalmi and Robert J. Muise. Described by its founders as the nation's first truly authentic Judeo-Christian law firm dedicated to defending faith and freedom, it specializes in defending conservative and anti-Muslim causes through litigation, focusing on issues like religious liberty, national security, and constitutional rights, particularly First Amendment rights in cases involving anti-Islam activism and free speech. The organization engages in litigation, education, and public policy initiatives to advance and protect America's Judeo-Christian heritage and values against perceived threats from secular progressives and Islamist influences, including sharia law. AFLC provides representation in cases involving free speech, religion, and anti-Islam activism, often litigating against Islamist organizations and defending free speech in cases involving anti-Muslim rhetoric. It has been involved in high-profile cases challenging restrictions on anti-Muslim speech, supporting policies like the Trump administration's travel ban, and representing clients in disputes involving religious expression and national security. The group often aligns with far-right and anti-Islam networks and has been involved in crafting anti-Muslim legislation.
