Arizona Department of Transportation Sales of Arizona's specialty "In God We Trust" license plate have quietly supported the Alliance Defending Freedom organization, something a state lawmaker wants to stop. An Arizona state senator is working to increase regulations on specialty license plates after the state’s “In God We Trust” plate was found to benefit an anti-LGBTQ organization that’s been deemed a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The Arizona Department of Transportation’s (ADOT) website does not mention that ADF is the beneficiary of the $25 plates. “Hopefully in the future we can put in place some commonsense guidelines that would bar hate groups from earning money through Arizona license plates,” Mendez said in a press release sent to The Arizona Republic. It’s appalling that we’ve already sent over a million dollars to this extremist hate group.”
