In America, we love our neighbors. We choose love, not ICE cruelty.
The holidays are a time for peace, love, and community. But for too many families, this sacred season is interrupted by the fear of ICE raids and separation.
ICE’s cruelty is tearing our country apart. We demand that ICE stop their attacks on our neighbors. We call upon political and religious leaders to show up and speak out against these abuses with a unified voice. Add your name to our petition today.
Tell Your Members of Congress: Co-Sponsor the Equality Act!
Every one of us should be able to live free from discrimination. Unfortunately, Christian nationalists and their allies are waging an all-out war against our LGBTQ+ siblings, weaponizing faith as a license to discriminate. Tell your Members of Congress: Co-sponsor the Equality Act. Together, we can make our vision of an inclusive democracy a reality.

One Year of The Trump Administration’s Attacks on Faith Communities and Abuse of Religion
Over its first year, the Trump administration has weaponized religion to advance a white Christian nationalist agenda, attacking faith leaders, houses of worship, immigrants, and religious minorities while undermining core principles of religious freedom. Even as federal power has been used to intimidate and exclude, faith communities across traditions have mobilized to defend democracy, pluralism, and the right of all people to practice their beliefs.
