WASHINGTON, DC – Donald Trump’s return to the White House and the threat of Project 2025’s implementation is causing deep fear and uncertainty in our country today. Interfaith Alliance is ready to meet this moment and do everything in our power to stymie the implementation of Project 2025.
As a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, Interfaith Alliance has helped to lead the fight against Project 2025 and to name the threat of authoritarian theocracy in a second Trump administration. In the weeks and months ahead, the organization will counter Project 2025 via its own initiative, “Promise 2025”. Promise 2025 will work to:
Reverend Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance, released the following statement:
“To defeat Project 2025’s implementation, we must grow and marshal more resources to equip more mainstream religious voices against Christian nationalism. There is a mass movement of Americans who will never give up the struggle for a more just, kind, equitable and free country – and Interfaith Alliance will always work proudly to help mobilize it. We are in it for the long term, and in the end, I know we can and will succeed.
Over the course of our thirty year history, our members have championed inclusion, compassion, building bridges between diverse faith communities, and upholding true religious freedom. We were founded to help counter the Christian Coalition in 1994. We fought for true religious freedom during the first Trump administration, and we’re prepared to continue the fight in the second Trump administration.
Together, we will access the spiritual power of resilience and hope that runs through all our faith traditions, and join with all people of good will to meet this extraordinarily challenging moment in our nation’s history.”
Interfaith Alliance is a network of people of diverse faiths and beliefs from across the country working together to build a resilient democracy and fulfill America’s promise of religious freedom and civil rights not just for some, but for all. We mobilize powerful coalitions to challenge Christian nationalism and religious extremism, while fostering a better understanding of the healthy boundaries between religion and government. We advocate at all levels of government for an equitable and just America where the freedoms of belief and religious practice are protected, and where all persons are treated with dignity and have the opportunity to thrive.
