The Vote is Sacred Tour: Madison
Day three of The Vote is Sacred Tour took us to Madison, Wisconsin. We began the day by distributing voting information to students on campus at the University of Wisconsin, along with free doughnuts from a local bakery! We met so many students who told us they had already voted, which was encouraging. We parked the bus at The Crossing Student Ministry and were joined by Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign and local clergy in reaching students.
We then moved the bus to First United Methodist Church in Madison to hold a press conference with the Wisconsin Council of Churches. Rhonda Lindner of Wisconsin Interfaith Voter Engagement Campaign, Rev. Dr. Joy A. Gallmon, pastor at St Mark’s AME Church and state lead of Faiths United to Save Democracy, Rev. Chakravarthy Zadda-Ravindra, pastor of First Baptist Church of Waukesha, and Rev. Cathy Weigand, pastor of First UMC, spoke at the press conference.
You can watch a report about our press conference in Madison from the local ABC News affiliate there: Watch here.

Texas Faith Communities Fight Against Mandated Ten Commandment Displays
Texans of all faiths are uniting in filing a lawsuit against Senate Bill No. 10 (S.B. 10), which requires Texas public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments. The bill specifically mandates the display must be at least sixteen by twenty inches, hung in a "conspicuous space,” and follow a specific phrasing most commonly aligned with Protestant beliefs.
Faith leaders have an important role in fighting hate speech
Recently, the Sure Foundation Baptist Church (SFBC) in Indianapolis held a sermon in which the preacher called for the government to institute the death penalty for the LGBTQ+ community. Despite heavy criticism from the Indianapolis community for its hateful remark, the church has refused to back down, instead celebrating the exposure that the incident has brought.
