Button TextLast 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.
Nexus Project National Director Jonathan Jacoby joins host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush for an in-depth conversation about the weaponization of antisemitism in our country, and strategies for identifying, challenging, and disarming these and other instances of antisemitism.
As a leading national advocate for religious freedom and civil rights, Interfaith Alliance is deeply alarmed by the intensifying atmosphere of censorship and aggressive crackdown on free speech that is unfolding in the United States. In the wake of the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk, the organization is appalled by the proliferation of political violence and violent threats, as well as by blatantly authoritarian efforts to silence a wide range of legitimate constitutionally-protected speech and activism.
