The Vote is Sacred Tour: Pittsburgh 

November 4, 2024

We began day seven of The Vote is Sacred Tour in Cleveland. We partnered with the NAACP of Cleveland and Greater Cleveland Congregations on a Souls to the Polls block party across the street from the one voting center in the county on the last day of early voting in Ohio. It was shocking to see such a long line of people waiting to vote, but their determination to make their voice heard was inspiring. We helped ensure that voters felt encouraged as they waited and celebrated for playing their part in democracy.

After the block party in Cleveland, we boarded the bus and headed to Pittsburgh to start the final stretch of the bus tour in Pennsylvania. After traveling through Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio, our team was relieved and grateful to reach the final state.

In Pittsburgh, we partnered with Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network to hold a press conference at Pittsburgh Mennonite Church. They had spent the afternoon canvassing neighborhoods to get out the vote, and our press conference put a spotlight on this important work. We heard from Rev. Dave Swanson, Rev. Shannon Doege, Rev. Kate Walker, and Christina Mohamed on behalf of Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network. Our own Rev. Paul Brandeis Rauschenbush and Adam Friedman also spoke.

You can watch the full press conference in this video.

Letter to Speaker Johnson: Make Clear that All People are Welcome in the Halls of Congress

Earlier this month, Giani Surinder Singh, the head granthi of the Gurdwara South Jersey Sikh Society, delivered a prayer on the floor of the House of Representatives. Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) wrote in a since-deleted X post that it was "deeply troubling that a Sikh was allowed to lead prayer."
