Join the
pro-democracy faith movement

Religious extremism threatens our democracy, our communities, and individual freedoms. We are a counterforce: challenging the dangerous ideas of Project 2025 by mobilizing people of diverse faiths and beliefs to achieve democracy together. 

OUR VISION

We’re not backing away from the fight for our future

Join us as we build a resilient, inclusive democracy, which respects the inherent dignity of all people, affords each person the freedoms of belief and religious practice, and guarantees that all have the opportunity to thrive.

Democracy Not Theocracy

Democracy Not Theocracy

We are countering the threat of authoritarian theocracy in American politics, and continuing our longstanding advocacy for healthy boundaries between religion and government.

Freedom Not Extremism

Freedom Not Extremism

All Americans should be free to love who they love, be their true authentic selves, make decisions over their own bodies, and practice their faith free from fear. 

Education Not Indoctrination

Education Not Indoctrination

We are ringing the alarm about encroaching Christian nationalism in our public schools, and the threat of growing censorship and book bans.

As people of diverse faith traditions, we can stand up to religious extremism

Together, we can make a significant impact in this pivotal moment in our nation's history.

Thank you! We're happy to have you with us.

Join us in taking action

We recognize the threats of authoritarian theocracy and Christian nationalism, and know mainstream religious Americans reject these ideologies. Too often, the loudest voices don’t represent the inclusive majority, so we must speak out to make sure our voices are heard in policy debates.
