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.

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.”
As a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, Interfaith Alliance is appalled by the recent surge of Islamophobic hate speech and incitement against NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, and the broader pattern of extreme hate directed against public officials and vulnerable minorities. This hateful rhetoric seeks to spread polarization and division and wrongly pit diverse American communities against one another.
WASHINGTON, DC – Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, is deeply disturbed by the Supreme Court’s ruling today in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor. The decision clears the way for further discrimination against diverse groups and undermines public education. While falsely claiming the mantle of religious freedom, it in fact suppresses diversity and promotes exclusion.
WASHINGTON, DC – Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, condemns today’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Medina v.
