“There’s no one religious group that gets to claim religion for America. It involves all of us from all different traditions to come together and make democracy work for everybody,” said Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based Interfaith Alliance, whose “The Vote is Sacred” bus tour rolled into Harrisburg Monday afternoon. “There are all different ways that religion can show up in the public square, but let’s make sure that it’s used to celebrate, not discriminate.”
Interfaith Alliance is proud to join The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and a broad coalition of civil rights organizations in signing a joint statement responding to the recent rise in antisemitic violence.
Interfaith Alliance was one of more than 60 faith-based organizations and 260 faith leaders representing over 3.3 million people who signed a letter to congress opposing the inclusion of the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) in the federal reconciliation budget.
