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 one of the organizational co-chairs of Faithful Democracy, Interfaith Alliance led a powerful letter to Congressional leadership this Tuesday—joined by over 130 faith-based organizations—expressing alarm at the federal takeover of D.C.'s police and calling for Congressional support to protect the District’s autonomy and advance statehood.

Interfaith Alliance was one of more than 200 organizations that signed a statement opposing legislation allowing the Secretary of Treasury the ability to accuse any nonprofit of being a “terrorist supporting organization” without basic due process.

This week on The State of Belief, host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush welcomes Kelly Jensen. She’s a passionate advocate for intellectual freedom, democracy, and the right to read. As an editor at Book Riot and a former librarian, Kelly has been at the forefront of the fight against book bans and censorship. The urgent conversation covers the growing wave of censorship, the role of religious extremism in book-banning efforts, and what we can do to safeguard free expression and democratic values.
