Join SCA and Senator Kamala Harris in urging Congress to pass the Do No Harm Act

[link removed][UNIQID]

Friend,

We are writing to urge you to support the Do No Harm Act ([link removed][UNIQID]) (S. 593), which was introduced by Senator/Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris (D-CA) in February 2019.

The Do No Harm Act would restore true religious freedom by amending the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) to ensure that religion is not used as a license to discriminate against or deprive others of their civil rights. The House version of the bill (H.R.3222) was previously reintroduced into the House by Congressmen Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Joe Kennedy (D-MA).

The Do No Harm Act will reverse the damage caused by the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision, which greatly expanded RFRA and granted corporations unprecedented authority to force a religious agenda on employees. While this specific case allowed Hobby Lobby to deny its female employees access to health insurance that included the full range of contraceptive choices, it opened the door for virtually any religiously affiliated business to use religious privilege as a get-out-of-jail-free card for violating a law it happens to disagree with.

Religious privilege will continue to erode progress on civil rights until Congress draws a line in the sand.

Tell your Senators and your Representative to co-sponsor the Do No Harm Act and thank Members who have sponsored or co-sponsored the bills. ([link removed][UNIQID])
