Friend – The people have spoken.

Americans voted for democracy, diversity, and the Constitution. They reasserted ownership over these core American values after four years under an administration that abused religious freedom to license discrimination.

Voters have chosen to end the privileging of one group’s religious beliefs over the rights and safety of everyone else.

Voters have delivered a resounding “no” to four more years of a White House that embraces Christian nationalism and discriminates against people of color, LGBTQ people, women, religious minorities and the nonreligious in the name of “religious freedom.”

Now, we are calling on President-Elect Joe Biden to take immediate action to reverse President Trump’s harmful policies and adopt new policies that respect church-state separation. These must include:

• Repealing the Muslim Ban.
• Ensuring that people will not be denied access to health care, including insurance coverage for birth control, because of other people’s religious beliefs.
• Protecting federally funded employees from religious discrimination.
• Working with Congress to pass the Do No Harm Act.

Together, we can begin this new chapter in our country’s history by restoring the separation of religion and government.

It won’t be easy – President Trump has tilted many federal courts, including the Supreme Court, toward our opponents – but AU is ready to lead the fight.

Thank you for staying strong. Thank you for never giving up on our country or democracy. Thank you for steadfastly believing in Americans United. Your partnership not only keeps AU strong, but enables our committed staff to wake up every day with a renewed energy and belief in our country.

With deep gratitude,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO
