CHRISTIAN EMPLOYERS ALLIANCE
Our Impact
The record, stated in numbers. Three permanent federal injunctions. Court-backed exemptions protecting tens of thousands of employees. No member forced to litigate alone.
2026 RECORD
The 2026 Record, in Numbers
Not claims. Not projections. Outcomes. Every figure below comes from cases already won, bills already tracked, and lawmakers already scored in 2026. This is what standing together produced.
The average religious-liberty case costs more than $1 million to litigate. For CEA members, that fight has already been won.
THE INJUNCTIONS
Two Court Orders. Every Member.
Not opinions. Not policy positions. Permanent federal court injunctions, in force, protecting every CEA member from the mandates that cost other businesses everything.
CEA v. Azar (2019)
A permanent injunction shielding members from the mandate to fund abortifacient drugs and devices. Upheld on appeal by the Eighth Circuit.
CEA v. EEOC/HHS (2024)
A permanent injunction blocking the mandate to cover or perform gender-transition procedures. Won alongside Alliance Defending Freedom.
Every current and future member is covered. Every industry. Every size.
Two court orders shield every member from mandates that violate life, gender, and religious liberty.
Court-backed exemptions protect tens of thousands of employees.
No member has ever litigated alone. The victory was already won.
Coverage activates day one. No waiting period. No individual lawsuit.
2026 WINS
Policy Wins, Booked in 2026
CEA does not wait for the news cycle. It moves before mandates take effect.
SUPREME COURT
A Supreme Court victory.
In Trump v. Slaughter, the Court handed down a 6-3 decision restoring accountability over the agencies that target Christian employers. CEA filed amicus briefs at both stages, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom.
EEOC AGREEMENT
A binding agreement with the EEOC.
The EEOC's Title VII gender-identity rule and the PWFA abortion-accommodation rule are both held off. The agency will not enforce either against CEA members while it reconsiders. Won alongside Alliance Defending Freedom.
STATE LEGISLATION
Fair banking in Oklahoma.
CEA backed HB3172, the Fair Banking Act, against politicized debanking. It organized a coalition letter signed by 19 business owners and leaders, delivered to the state Senate.
MEMBER ACCESS
A direct line for members.
CEA convened the inaugural Government Relations Committee, a quarterly forum where members bring their own fights straight to CEA and add weight to the advocacy in statehouses and on Capitol Hill.
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION
Key Vote Alerts when it counted.
When decisive votes reached Congress, CEA did not stay silent. From defending conscience in health care to blocking a government-controlled surveillance currency, members act on every alert and see exactly how their lawmakers voted.
BIBLICAL BUSINESS INDEX
Scoring Every Lawmaker
Threats do not announce themselves. So CEA tracks them before they become law.
In 2026, CEA released the Congressional Biblical Business Index, the first nationwide ranking of how every member of Congress votes in alignment with biblical principles. It joins 12 state indexes already live: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.
The goal is direct. Score nearly 8,000 lawmakers across all 50 states. Hold every one to a public record.
The scale is already real. 160,000+ bills tracked each cycle. 400,000+ legislative votes analyzed. CEA triages 30 to 50 newly introduced bills every morning.
Three stages. Every bill.
A live tracker monitors federal and state legislation before it reaches a vote.
CEA contacts lawmakers with its position before they vote.
Every legislator is graded after the vote against the Five Freedoms Framework.
This is how a small Christian business owner walks into a congressional meeting with the credibility of a major trade association.
MEDIA AND REACH
A National Story
CEA's work did not stay inside the movement. In 2026 it broke into the national conversation.
Q1 2026
people reached through 150+ national media mentions, generating over $500,000 in earned media value. Coverage ran in MSN, POLITICO, and NewsBreak.
Q2 2026
people reached across 288 media mentions spanning online news, print, and X.
The Index made national news. MSN and Yahoo News ran state-by-state stories reaching tens of millions.
A senator's endorsement. Senator Rand Paul highlighted his 98% CEA score for 2025, first in the U.S. Senate.
The outlets that matter. The Daily Wire, Christianity Today, and the Associated Press all carried CEA's voice.
The Network Behind It
Through partnerships with C12, USCCC, 94X, NRB, Acumen, and Kingdom Factor, the CEA protection framework reaches more than 30,000 Christian-led employers across the country.
THE CHOICE
Two Paths. One Choice.
Most Christian employers do not know they need protection until the mandate arrives. By then the fight has started and the cost has climbed.
Standing Alone
A mandate you never agreed to
$1 million or more in legal fees
Two to five years in litigation
An uncertain outcome, even if you win
Standing With CEA
Two permanent federal court injunctions, already in force
$0 in legal fees to enforce your protection
Coverage from day one
A record that already changed the landscape
The victory was won. The Index is live. The court orders hold. You only have to join.
