Join us at our October events to stand up for democracy!
Democracy is in the balance. As election day approaches, we want to make sure you’re equipped to champion Interfaith Alliance’s policy priorities and oppose Christian nationalism over the next few weeks.
We are excited to offer several upcoming events to help you show up for democracy in these final weeks of the election season.
Join us October 8 at 6pm ET at our “Democracy is in the Balance” webinar. Interfaith Alliance CEO and President Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush and Organizing and Elections Strategist Adam Friedman will lead the session. We will learn what’s at stake in 2024, how we are seeing Christian nationalist messaging in this year’s election narratives, and how we can flip the script and advocate as faith voices on the issues that matter.
We are also proud to announce that starting on October 15th, Interfaith Alliance will be hosting text banking shifts every Tuesday and Thursday until election day. You can help turn out the vote in Pennsylvania and Florida!
Join us for a quick training and text banking shift between 10/15 and 10/24 or sign up for our crucial down-to-the-wire text banking the last week before the election! You’ll send nonpartisan messages alongside a community modeling the democracy we fight for.
We will be getting out the vote in Pennsylvania's 8th district and advocating against Florida Amendment 1, which would make school board elections partisan, potentially disenfranchising millions of voters.

Interfaith Alliance Condemns Political Violence and Defends the First Amendment
Last week, Interfaith Alliance signed two important letters demonstrating our commitment to opposing all political violence and supporting free speech. In the wake of the unacceptable murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, the Trump administration has announced a crackdown on progressive nonprofits and philanthropic institutions. To protect movements working across diverse issue areas and communities, we reiterate our commitment to working nonviolently and supporting the First Amendment right of organizations to speak out and advocate for the civil rights of all communities.
