Interfaith Alliance is proud to join The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and a broad coalition of civil rights organizations in signing a joint statement responding to the recent rise in antisemitic violence.
Interfaith Alliance was one of more than 60 faith-based organizations and 260 faith leaders representing over 3.3 million people who signed a letter to congress opposing the inclusion of the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) in the federal reconciliation budget.
On February 6, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order addressing so-called “anti-Christian bias” in the United States. The Anti-Christian Bias Task Force, created by the executive order, held its first meeting on April 22, 2025. The task force is chaired by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
A few weeks ago, the U.S. Reform Jewish community delivered a powerful message of moral clarity. The Central Conference of American Rabbis (CCAR), a leading voice in progressive Judaism, passed a bold resolution explicitly opposing white Christian nationalism and affirming its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). This action demonstrates the power of empowering and mobilizing the Jewish community to challenge the growing threats to democracy and pluralism by reclaiming and correcting the false narrative promoted by white Christian nationalist rhetoric. It also offers a vital example of how faith communities can and must speak out.
This week on The State of Belief, an inspiring conversation with Rev. Noel Andersen, the National Field Director for Church World Service and a dedicated advocate for immigrant rights. In this episode, he joins host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush to delve into the pressing issues surrounding immigration enforcement, the role of faith communities, and the ongoing fight for justice in the face of adversity. Here are three key takeaways that stand out:
Interfaith Alliance, a national leader in defending civil rights and multi-faith democracy, is deeply alarmed by President Trump’s authoritarian crackdown on the many thousands of peaceful protesters in the Los Angeles area who have mobilized to protect their families and neighbors from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) abduction raids.
This week on The State of Belief – getting ready for No Kings Day on June 14th, an initiative of the national grassroots organization Indivisible. Co-founder Leah Greenberg explains that No Kings Day is a forceful nationwide response to the royal pretensions on display in Donald Trump's demand for a multi-million dollar military parade on his 79th birthday. Leah joins Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush to discuss the importance of getting involved rather than discouraged, share past Indivisible successes and lessons learned, and the essential role faith leaders and communities play in giving credibility to public actions like this.
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.”
