Religion News Service: At Philadelphia's ‘No Kings’ protest, faith leaders urge crowd to 'rebuke hate'

The Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, a Baptist minister who heads Interfaith Alliance, a Washington nonprofit, and a member of the No Kings steering committee, said he had helped organizers reach out to religious constituencies who were already vocally critical of the president.

Raushenbush said liberal-leaning organizations such as Indivisible are “recognizing the power of religion — not only the moral power, but also the vision that religion brings.” Indivisible’s co-founder, Ezra Levin, spoke at a Moral Monday protest organized by Barber earlier this month, and groups such as Interfaith Alliance, Raushenbush argued, were a natural fit for a “No Kings” protest.
