CNN: Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush Responds to Trump's Religious Liberty Commission
Watch Here“There’s no one religious group that gets to claim religion for America. It involves all of us from all different traditions to come together and make democracy work for everybody,” said Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based Interfaith Alliance, whose “The Vote is Sacred” bus tour rolled into Harrisburg Monday afternoon. “There are all different ways that religion can show up in the public square, but let’s make sure that it’s used to celebrate, not discriminate.”
As one of the organizational co-chairs of Faithful Democracy, Interfaith Alliance led a powerful letter to Congressional leadership this Tuesday—joined by over 130 faith-based organizations—expressing alarm at the federal takeover of D.C.'s police and calling for Congressional support to protect the District’s autonomy and advance statehood.
