Dear Friend,

We invite you to join us in person in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. ET for a free series of discussions in collaboration with The New Republic’s Michael Tomasky, Timothy Noah, and Greg Sargent.

“America in Crisis: Navigating the Dark Road Ahead” will bring together influential political commentators to explore what we can expect in the months ahead with the new administration and emboldened Christian Nationalists. Speakers include: 

• Rachel Laser, Americans United President & CEO
• Alessandro Terenzoni, Americans United VP of Public Policy
• Amanda Tyler, executive director, Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty
• Sarah Posner, author and journalist, as moderator
• Plus U.S. Representatives Jamie Raskin and Bennie Thompson, American national security official Olivia Troye, attorney Mark Zaid, and many more!

Rachel and Alessandro will speak about AU's work to advocate for church-state separation as the foundational principle that protects freedom and equality for all and as the antidote to current Christian Nationalist threats to religious freedom and democracy. They will discuss the importance of uniting for a national recommitment to church-state separation.
