WATCH: Faith Leaders in Opposition to Arkansas 10 Commandements Bill
51 Arkansas faith leaders have signed a letter opposing SB433, requiring the display of a government-selected version of the Ten Commandments in all public school classrooms and buildings. They gathered at the Capitol in Little Rock yesterday to hold a press conference that is making waves across the state. You can watch the press conference here.
“A government mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in all government buildings demeans religious freedom,” the faith leaders wrote in a letter. “The government oversteps its authority when it dictates an official state-approved version of any religious text."

Rep. Miller’s Attack on Sikh-led Prayer in Congress is a Xenophobic Asault on Freedom of Religion for All Faiths
Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in upholding multi-faith democracy and civil rights for all Americans, is appalled by Rep. Mary Miller’s bigoted attack on a Sikh man, whom she initially misidentified as Muslim, for leading a prayer on the floor of the House of Representatives. In her now-deleted post, Rep. Miller called on Congress to uphold the supposed “truth” that ““America was founded as a Christian nation.”
Faith, Freedom, and Reproductive Rights
At the heart of our democracy is the belief that individuals should be free to make decisions guided by their own conscience, values, and beliefs, especially when it comes to their health care. The growing efforts to restrict access to reproductive health care under the guise of religious or political authority is deeply concerning and recent legal challenges across the country threaten not only access to care but also the foundational principle that no single religious tradition should determine public policy for everyone.
