We’re a collective force for
Anti-Authoritarianism
We reject Christian nationalism and authoritarian theocracy, and believe in the promise of a mulit-faith, multi-racial democracy.

We believe in the rule of law
The right to vote is the bedrock of American democracy. Across our many faith traditions, we are united in our defense of a pluralistic democracy. We are alarmed at attempts to undermine faith in elections and voting rights.
We are partnering with a wide range of religious and civic organizations to expose the authoritarian threat of Project 2025 and the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to implement the policies within it. Authoritarians use religion to justify trampling on the rule of law. Christian nationalism draws on centuries of exclusionary rhetoric and violence, but we refuse to cede religious or moral ground to extremists who would privilege a small segment of Christians above all other Americans.
Tell Trump: Obey Supreme Court, Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home!
Faith leaders, immigrant rights activists, and community members are speaking out against the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. We must ensure that the White House hears from all of us around the country. We need your voice.
Tell Your Representative: Protect The Right To Vote, Vote NO On SAVE
People of faith and conscience have for generations worked to advance an inclusive democracy where every person, regardless of background or belief, has the power to exercise their vote. The Freedom to Vote Act is historic legislation to strengthen voter access and prevent efforts to undermine our electoral system. We need your help honoring that proud legacy today. Tell your members of Congress: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act.
