Introducing Our Blog: Your Hub for Advocacy, Education, and Connection
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Interfaith Alliance blog! This exciting addition to our online presence will be your go-to source for the latest updates, insights, and resources related to our mission of fostering a resilient, inclusive democracy and countering Christian nationalism. With new posts each week, we aim to keep you informed and engaged with the critical issues surrounding religious freedom, civil rights, and the dynamic intersections of faith and democracy.
At Interfaith Alliance, our mission is to build powerful alliances among people of diverse faiths and beliefs to ensure that America's promise of religious freedom and civil rights is upheld for everyone. Our blog will reflect this mission by offering a platform for advocacy, mobilization, and education. We’ll also raise awareness about the harms of religious extremism and Christian nationalism, which threaten our rights and freedoms.
From in-depth analysis of federal and state policy issues to updates on our advocacy efforts and mobilization strategies, our content will provide valuable insights into how we work to challenge extremism and support the fundamental freedoms of belief and religious practice.
We will showcase the stories and experiences of those who are making a difference, highlight ongoing challenges and successes, and offer practical advice on how you can get involved. Whether you are a long-time supporter or new to our cause, we hope our blog will be a source of inspiration and a call to action in the ongoing work of building a more inclusive and just society.
Stay tuned for our upcoming posts, and don’t forget to subscribe to our email updates to ensure you receive the latest news from Interfaith Alliance. Together, through advocacy, education, and the power of interfaith community, we can make a meaningful impact and uphold the values that define our democracy. Welcome to the conversation!
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.
