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.

Mahmoud Khalil’s deportation case has alarming implications
Earlier this year, during the holy month of Ramadan, ICE agents followed Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil home after he broke his fast and forcibly detained him without a warrant. Khalil, a Palestinian activist, was then disappeared into an unmarked vehicle and taken to an unknown location as his pregnant wife watched and pleaded for information. It was later revealed that Khalil had been moved to a detention center in Jena, Louisiana, where he faced deportation.
