WASHINGTON — Interfaith Alliance, a leading national advocate for religious freedom, has filed an amicus curiae brief to the Supreme Court in Trump v. Illinois, supporting a ruling by a federal judge that prohibits the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard to Illinois. Democracy Forward is providing pro bono legal representation to Interfaith Alliance in the case.
Interfaith Alliance, together with major religious organizations committed to religious freedom and education, has submitted a formal comment to the U.S. Department of Education opposing the proposed priority and definitions on promoting patriotic education.
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.
