America, our freedoms are under attack
America, our freedoms are under attack.
Extremist white Christian nationalists are trying to drag this country backward into a government where one narrow religious ideology controls our laws, our classrooms, our bodies, our families, and our futures. They want to erase the wall between church and state and replace democracy with domination. They dress up cruelty as faith, call oppression “freedom,” and pretend their hunger for power is somehow ordained.

“White Christian nationalists believe the US was founded as a Christian nation, although the Constitution never mentions God and enshrines the separation of church and state. Its adherents twist biblical language to justify violence, sexism and hostility toward people of color.” 1
They cloak cruelty in religion. However, the Constitution—the true foundation of this country—explicitly separates church and state.
Theocracy is a relic of the past, much like monarchy: a system where those in power claim their authority comes from God or has been divinely approved. In a theocracy, there is no real separation of church and state. Government becomes a weapon for one approved religion, while other faiths are demonized, scapegoated, pushed out, or punished simply for existing.
But let’s be clear: the Constitution is the foundation of this country—not any one religious doctrine. America was not built to be a theocracy. Our government belongs to the people, not pastors, billionaires, extremists, or politicians who want to weaponize religion to control the rest of us.
Their agenda is not subtle. They want to force people to give birth. Tell us who we can love. Stop us from voting. Ban the books we read. Price-gouge our families. Flood our communities with guns and then call the violence “freedom.” Cut Social Security and Medicare. Criminalize poverty, homelessness, and immigration. Expand surveillance and repression. Pollute our air and water for profit. Prioritize weapons of war over healthcare, housing, education, and human dignity. And then they want to shield corrupt leaders, extremists in power, and a compromised Supreme Court from accountability.
This is not faith. This is control. A fascist authoritarian state being built here in America.
Much of this agenda is spelled out in Project 2025, a radical blueprint backed by far-right extremists and embraced by Trump’s movement and Republican allies in Congress. Its purpose is clear: consolidate power, weaken checks and balances, strip protections from vulnerable communities, and move this country closer to authoritarian rule wrapped in religious language.
We are already seeing the warning signs: attacks on transgender people, assaults on LGBTQIA+ rights, efforts to erase diversity, equity, and inclusion, threats to reproductive freedom, attacks on public education, attempts to rewrite civil rights protections, and a growing push to define family, marriage, gender, citizenship, and freedom through one extremist political-religious lens.
This is not democracy. It is domination.
And let’s not forget: Donald Trump may have come back into power, but nearly 80% of us who call America home did not vote for him.2 He does not speak for the majority. He never has.
The people of this country are far more powerful than a handful of extremists propped up by billionaire donors and a compromised Supreme Court.
The rise of white Christian nationalism is dangerous—but it is not unstoppable.
We can resist. We must resist.
We’re building a people-powered movement—fueled by truth, love, and a fierce commitment to liberty and justice for all. One that advocates for liberty and justice for all, economic fairness, abortion access, racial equity, LGBTQIA+ rights, environmental protection, and the freedom to live and love without fear.
In this community, we refuse to stay silent in the face of hate. We will speak out, show up, and stand together to protect one another and defend the future we deserve.
This is our country. And we will not back down.
We are building a people-powered movement to elect leaders who represent our will, not religious extremists or corrupt billionaires.
And we’re ensuring people have access to real help, right now. Join us!
