Dear friend,
As we head into the 2024 election season, the risks to freedom and democracy are higher than they’ve been for decades. Religious communities who understand that democracy is the best modern governing system for protecting religious freedom and advancing shared values have a critical role to play as partisans for democracy.
Churches are positioned to bring their moral and symbolic power, organizational and communications networks, multiparty congregations, and a faith-rooted, disciplined capacity to support nonviolent resistance. These are key ingredients for advancing democratic governance through broad-based, pluralist social justice actions.
To read about how faith communities are vital to protecting democracy, read “Faith and the Authoritarian Playbook” in the July issue of Sojourners. Subscribe now for $10.
