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.
“I’m kicking off this moment to declare that the vote is sacred, and not just for some people in this country, but for everyone in this country,” President Paul Raushenbush said to begin the The Vote Is Sacred Bus Tour in Omaha, Neb.
The goal of the eight-day ride from Omaha to Philadelphia, with multiple stops along the way, is to fight the Christian nationalism that has inspired its adherents’ yearning to replace democracy with theocratic and autocratic rule.
“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.
