Sign Faith Voices Letter to Protect the Johnson Amendment, Keep Sacred Places Sacred

From Americans United for Separation of Church and State (http://www.au.org):

More than 3,500 faith leaders have now joined the Faith Voices letter to members of Congress asking them to protect the law that prohibits tax-exempt organizations, including houses of worship, from endorsing or opposing candidates. We plan to release it very soon– likely during the week of August 14.

If you have not yet signed, please do so before August 14 at https://www.faith-voices.org/.

This letter will be powerful in our effort at pushing back against President Trump and others who have vowed to repeal this law, sometimes referred to as the Johnson Amendment. And today the threat that the law is weakened or repealed is greater than ever: just this month, the House Appropriations Committee adopted a bill to make the Johnson Amendment nearly impossible to enforce against houses of worship that violate the law.

Please share the letter with 10 other faith leaders who you think will support the effort to protect the current law. You can also send it to ministerial or rabbinical networks, seminary alumni lists, and other networks you belong to with other faith leaders. We don’t want partisan elections dividing our houses of worship. We want to keep our sacred spaces sacred.
