***********************
Friend,

During the Inaugural Prayer Service, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde
courageously spoke truth to power from the pulpit. She urged President
Trump to “have mercy” on LGBTQ people and immigrants. This quickly led to
ire from far-right White Christian nationalists.

People For’s Right Wing Watch covered the response to this event from the
White Christian nationalist movement. Trump’s religious-right supporters
called the Bishop “heretical” and “diabolical” and that the Washington
National Cathedral, where the event was held, was “the Sanctuary of
Satan.” ^[ [link removed]- ]

[1]Pledge your commitment to resisting this White Christian nationalist
agenda now! >>

White Christian nationalism is a movement to remake our government and
country by forcing all Americans to live in alignment with their
exclusionary, anti-freedom religious and political worldview.

Religious freedom is at the core of our American values. We must fight to
protect religious diversity AND we must continue to fight against the core
tenets of White Christian nationalist ideology. Cornerstones of their
ideology include controlling women and reproductive freedom, eliminating
rights and freedoms for LGBTQ people, advancing lies about American
history to advance their “Christian nation” claims, and remaking our
education system to advance their own values.

The values at the core of the American promise are too important to
abandon to the ideologues who aim to destroy them. We must stand vigilant
to these threats, call them out always, and fight back against bad actors
who aim to divide us.

[ [link removed]- ]Join us in committing your resistance to White Christian
nationalism! >>

Beyond signing our pledge, activists like you can fight back by calling
out White Christian nationalism, studying the ideology, and sharing
information about the threats with your community.

Thank you for your close attention to these threats and community in
resistance.

Charlie Everett, People For the American Way Foundation
