Four progressive groups are on tours to encourage voting
Interfaith Alliance launched a cross-country bus tour Oct. 28 to remind Americans voting is a civic and holy undertaking.

“In this moment when there are some who want to suppress the vote and to intimidate the vote, we are saying the vote is sacred, it is precious, we must use it,” Raushenbush said.
