We reject Christian nationalism and authoritarian theocracy, and believe in the promise of a mulit-faith, multi-racial democracy.

We believe in the rule of law
The right to vote is the bedrock of American democracy. Across our many faith traditions, we are united in our defense of a pluralistic democracy. We are alarmed at attempts to undermine faith in elections and voting rights.
We are partnering with a wide range of religious and civic organizations to expose the authoritarian threat of Project 2025 and the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to implement the policies within it. Authoritarians use religion to justify trampling on the rule of law. Christian nationalism draws on centuries of exclusionary rhetoric and violence, but we refuse to cede religious or moral ground to extremists who would privilege a small segment of Christians above all other Americans.
Tell Trump: Obey Supreme Court, Bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home!
Faith leaders, immigrant rights activists, and community members are speaking out against the wrongful deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. We must ensure that the White House hears from all of us around the country. We need your voice.
Tell Your Representative: Protect The Right To Vote, Vote NO On SAVE
People of faith and conscience have for generations worked to advance an inclusive democracy where every person, regardless of background or belief, has the power to exercise their vote. The Freedom to Vote Act is historic legislation to strengthen voter access and prevent efforts to undermine our electoral system. We need your help honoring that proud legacy today. Tell your members of Congress: Pass the Freedom to Vote Act.

True Religious Freedom Means Protecting Our Faith Leaders, Not Detaining Them
In early July, Ayman Soliman, a former Cincinnati Children’s Hospital chaplain, was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after his asylum status was terminated in June. In response, local faith leaders organized a prayer vigil, rally, and peaceful march; during the march at least 15 protesters were detained by local police and charged with felony rioting.
Interfaith Alliance Joins Civil Rights Organizations Opposing DC Policing Takeover
On August 15th, Interfaith Alliance joined 125 other organizations to express concern over President Trump’s decision to assert control over the District of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and to deploy the National Guard throughout the city. Rather than helping to protect DC communities, this decision represents a terrifying instance of executive overreach to amass political power and to undermine our democracy.
New Research Finds the Supreme Court Shows Bias Towards Christian Groups
In a recently published article in the Cambridge Journal of Political Affairs, Adam Hamdan offers a statistical analysis of the role religion plays in Supreme Court cases. The article builds on previous studies examining the interplay between religious beliefs and Supreme Court cases to find that under the Roberts Court, the Supreme Court has sided with religious groups more than previous courts, especially when it comes to Christian groups. This finding mirrors public perception of the Supreme Court, as a recent PEW Research Center study found that 35% of Americans see SCOTUS as friendly toward religion, a significant increase from the 18% of Americans that believed that in 2019.
