Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in defending religious freedom and multifaith democracy, today welcomed a petition from more than two dozen Texas families urging the Supreme Court to strike down a law mandating 10 Commandments posters in public schools
WASHINGTON – Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in defending religious freedom and inclusive multi-faith democracy, is deeply concerned by a new I.R.S. court filing that says churches and other houses of worship can endorse political candidates to their congregations from the pulpit. This action by the Trump Administration violates the fundamental purpose and spirit of the Johnson Amendment, a decades-old ban on political campaigning and endorsement by non-profits, including houses of worship.
As a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, Interfaith Alliance is appalled by the recent surge of Islamophobic hate speech and incitement against NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and the broader pattern of extreme hate directed against public officials and vulnerable minorities. This hateful rhetoric seeks to spread polarization and division and wrongly pit diverse American communities against one another.
On February 10, 2025, Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush - president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance - appeared on CNN discussing Trump's creation of a task force to investigate the federal government's "targeting" of Christians.
