Interfaith Alliance, a leading advocate for religious freedom and multi-faith democracy. will host the National Interfaith Town Hall: Building Momentum from No Kings on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET. 

The virtual event will bring together faith leaders, organizers, and partners from across the country to build on the nationwide multifaith mobilization of No Kings – and channel that energy into sustained organizing, public moral witness, and nonviolent action to protect democracy.

Over the weekend, No Kings III mobilized people at more than 3,100 events across all 50 states, and organizers estimated that more than 8 million people participated. As a lead faith partner of No Kings, Interfaith Alliance played an important role in organizing people of diverse faiths and beliefs to join the protests nationwide. 

Participants in Tuesday’s Interfaith Town Hall will hear from movement leaders – and be directed to specific opportunities to organize locally, stand with communities facing harm, and build long-term faith-based resistance to authoritarian forces. Speakers will include Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, Rabbi Sharon Brous, Bishop Dwayne Royster and many more.

“No Kings III showed once again that the American people will not tolerate cruelty, will not accept authoritarianism, and will stand shoulder to shoulder with their neighbors in the fight for democracy,” said Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance. “Our task now is to carry that courage forward — into our congregations, our communities, and everywhere those with authority use fear to make us feel isolated or powerless. This town hall is about channeling the energy and excitement of No Kings into lasting organizing and advocacy momentum. The incredible success of No Kings has shown that if faith communities show up with moral courage, discipline, and hope, we have the power to bring about the promise of a democracy that belongs to all of us.”
