Friend,

I joined Americans United for Separation of Church and State as VP of Strategic Communications four months ago. I’ve worked in Washington, D.C., a long time, and I want you to hear this:

I’ve never seen an organization that works harder than AU against an adversary as well-funded and mobilized as today’s Christian nationalist political movement.

Right now, the stakes are becoming even higher. Opponents of church-state separation are weaponizing religion for electoral gains at a level we haven’t seen in decades. As The New York Times reports, they have been promised that “Christianity will have power.”

And believe me, it’s not spiritual power they’re talking about!

I know that our power comes from you--AU’s committed supporters. As the only organization solely dedicated to protecting the separation between religion and government as the linchpin of religious freedom, AU needs your support to hold the line against an emboldened Christian nationalist agenda.

At this urgent time, will you donate $50 to help us protect the separation of religion and government? Click here: [link removed]

What the Christian nationalist agenda seeks is a government that grants privileged treatment to their narrow and divisive belief system over all others, in violation of our Constitution and to the detriment of religious diversity. That’s exactly what their favorite politicians are promising them: restrictions on reproductive freedom, the right to discriminate, and taxpayer funding of their religious doctrines, to name a few.

Religious freedom is supposed to be a shield to protect, not a sword to cause harm. To fight back against this reenergized threat, we need every supporter of religious freedom to join us and make a difference. We need to remind Americans, right now, of the principles and values upon which we were founded, and why they matter to everyone.

If you’re ready, please click here to join us in defense of church-state separation with a $50 donation today: [link removed]

I could not be more inspired by the commitment of AU and our members in defending this bedrock principle. Now more than ever, the future of our freedom relies on our collective vigilance and activism.

Thank you, truly, for being with us.

Naomi Paiss
VP of Strategic Communications
