Last night, Interfaith Alliance hosted our National Faith Mobilization Call with MoveOn, Indivisible, Horizons Project, Emgage, Bend the Arc, Kairos Center and Faith In Action. Our conversation was so powerful, full of spirit, wisdom and even love – it left us feeling energized and inspired to take action together.
Faith communities of every kind have a pivotal role to play in this critical moment for our democracy and fundamental rights. We encourage you to find a Hands Off! rally near you, explore the resources shared by our partners, and watch the webinar below.

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.
