PANELIST

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM & TRUMP: AN UPDATE ON LEGISLATIVE & LEGAL ACTION

Join us for lunch and an overview of the efforts by the Trump administration and Christian Nationalist allies to impose a narrow set of religious views on everyone. We will cover ongoing attacks on religious freedom happening in Congress, legislatures, and the courts in the areas of public education, civil rights protections, and more.

The session will conclude with a dynamic panel discussion featuring advocates and experts who are pushing back against these threats. Together, they’ll unpack the real-world consequences and discuss how we can collectively respond to defend freedom for all.
