This political moment demands that we ask ourselves, our constituents and our congregants: what are the values we stand for and what are we doing to protect them?

We have seen a moral resurgence in resistance to the policies championed by MAGA Republicans. Faith communities have long animated civic life in our country, and in this moment, faith leaders, their congregations and activists have led in organizing for social and racial justice, gender equality, and progressive policy change across our nation.

For many in our party, faith inspires their activism and forms the foundation for their commitment to progressive values – whether it’s helping the sick and the marginalized, the poor and the persecuted, the hungry and the homeless.
