We’re a collective force for
Anti-Authoritarianism
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 Your Members of Congress to Keep ICE Out of Sensitive Locations
It has been over three months since the Trump Administration rescinded provisions that ban Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from targeting “sensitive locations” including houses of worship, healthcare facilities, schools, childcare and recreational facilities, emergency response areas, and public assistance offices. Since then, we have seen attacks on families and communities while trying to access basic services and practice their faith.
In America, we love our neighbors. We choose love, not ICE cruelty.
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.

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.

Faith Communities Stand Up for Inclusive Public Schools
On June 10, the House Education and Workforce Committee held a hearing on K-12 education, calling before them superintendents from school districts across the country. Ahead of the hearing, Interfaith Alliance helped organize a coalition of faith-based and interfaith organizations to submit a letter to the committee in support of inclusive public education. Thanks to Rep. Lucy McBath, that letter was entered into the congressional record.
