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.

End the Federal Occupation of Washington, D.C.
President Trump has given himself emergency powers to take control of Washington, DC. Since Section 740 of the D.C. Home Rule Act was invoked, homeless encampments have been forcibly cleared. ICE is detaining residents. Military-style checkpoints have been established, targeting vulnerable communities and disrupting daily life.
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.

Moral Courage in Action: Faith Communities Confront Executive Overreach
This June, the Trump administration deployed the National Guard to California following widespread protests against a series of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the city; protesters stood in solidarity with immigrant communities and voiced opposition to mass deportation. Executive overreach under the guise of making communities “safer” threatens the freedom and safety of protesters and distorts democratic norms. In August, the administration further displayed overreach by deploying National Guard troops and quelling protests in Washington, D.C. In September, the administration announced that Portland, Oregon, would be the next city to have troops mobilized in its community. In response, faith communities, along with their partners, have not relented and are pushing back in defense of immigrant rights and the integrity of our democracy.
