We don't do Kings in America -->
Rise up with us on No Kings Day, 7/14The authoritarian playbook outlined in Project 2025 presents a profound threat to American democracy and religious freedom. It has received widespread media attention and was a topic of discussion during the one presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. To defeat Project 2025, we first have to understand it. We hosted a webinar on October 21, which you can now watch on demand.
This webinar features one of the nation’s foremost experts on Project 2025: Democracy Forward President and Interfaith Alliance Board Member Skye Perryman. Democracy Forward published the People’s Guide to Project 2025. She’s joined by Interfaith Alliance’s Senior Director of Policy & Advocacy Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, who was the first person to draw attention to the theocratic elements of Project 2025.
In addition to opposing Project 2025, we also need to offer an alternative vision. Interfaith Alliance calls our vision Promise 2025. Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, Interfaith Alliance’s President and CEO, discusses the need to advance a multi-racial, multi-religious democracy.
Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in upholding multi-faith democracy and civil rights for all Americans, is appalled by Rep. Mary Miller’s bigoted attack on a Sikh man, whom she initially misidentified as Muslim, for leading a prayer on the floor of the House of Representatives. In her now-deleted post, Rep. Miller called on Congress to uphold the supposed “truth” that ““America was founded as a Christian nation.”
At the heart of our democracy is the belief that individuals should be free to make decisions guided by their own conscience, values, and beliefs, especially when it comes to their health care. The growing efforts to restrict access to reproductive health care under the guise of religious or political authority is deeply concerning and recent legal challenges across the country threaten not only access to care but also the foundational principle that no single religious tradition should determine public policy for everyone.
