We’re taking a short pause to rest, reflect, and realign with our values. Across faiths, sacred pauses prepare us for deeper action. Thank you for being part of this community.

Join the Faithful Democracy Coalition on Tuesday, July 15th at 7:30 pm ET to learn about how people of faith can stand up for the sacred right to vote.

Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights and honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis.

On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.

Ahead of this day of action, join us to learn more about our role in advocating for the sacred right to vote.

In a letter to Senators, our Ohio cohort of faith leaders decried the implications of the budget bill that was signed into law on July 4.

📣 "H.R.1 asks these Americans to sacrifice their health and well-being so that billionaires and multinational corporations can enjoy even more wealth. This is not just poor policy—it is morally reprehensible."

At Faith in Public Life, we know what's at stake and we're not backing down. When cruelty is dressed up as policy, it is the moral voice of people of faith that cannot be ignored.

The proposed budget bill being considered by the Senate abandons the most vulnerable in our society, while giving tax cuts to the most wealthy. It is Congress’ role to represent our best interests; this bill is not it.

That’s why we joined hundreds of people of faith, across faith traditions, today at the Capitol, to hold our leaders accountable and to tell them to oppose this bill and any iteration of it that strips us of healthcare, food, and safety to help the rich get richer.

What if belonging isn't something we earn — but something we inherit?

This week, Jeanné Lewis and Shivani Parikh discuss how our sense of worth is rooted in something deeper than identity politics or citizenship.

🗣 “We inherit a belonging. We are born belonging, it's not something we have to create, it's not something that we have to seek, it is a core part of who we are because God loves us.” – Jeanné Lewis
