Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, president and CEO of Interfaith Alliance, released the following statement in response to the Manchester synagogue attack:
“We mourn the tragic loss of life in today’s horrific antisemitic attack in Manchester. We condemn this disgusting act of hate and are praying for the friends and families of the victims, the survivors, and all who are living in greater fear because of what happened. The attack on Judaism’s most holy day is a terrible and tragic reminder that antisemitism is a global crisis.
People of all faiths and traditions should be able to worship and pray without fear. We must all come together to end the scourge of hate and build a more tolerant and peaceful world.”

Interfaith Alliance welcomes today’s Supreme Court ruling in Trump v. Barbara, striking down President Trump’s executive order attacking birthright citizenship. Today’s decision is a clear victory against the Trump administration’s effort to strip American-born children of a constitutional right that no president has the power to take away.

Interfaith Alliance is deeply troubled by today’s Supreme Court rulings in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. By upholding Idaho and West Virginia’s bans, the Court has allowed states to exclude transgender students from playing in school sports simply because of who they are.
