Interfaith Alliance is monitoring and responding to the Trump administration’s executive actions related to our policy areas. We must stand strong and speak out knowing that interfaith activism is a powerful counterforce to extremism.

This research illustrates what these executive orders mean and how we can push back. We will offer an overview of each order and share talking points for debunking them. This page is a compilation of our resources on Trump’s executive orders, and we hope it provides a helpful resource for educating ourselves on how these changes will affect the law and our communities.
