Friend,

I hope you will join me in congratulating President Joseph R. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris – our first VP who is a woman and a woman of color – for making history today, after being sworn in on the Capitol steps.

It’s official: Donald Trump is no longer president of the United States.

After four years of hateful, divisive policies that pandered to a political base rooted in white Christian nationalism, our nation has taken a huge step in turning the page.

Americans United is calling on the Biden-Harris administration to protect and restore religious freedom – that is, the right to practice any religion, or none at all, without harming others – across all of its priorities.

President Biden is off to a great start with plans to reverse Trump’s Muslim Ban later today. AU has fought the Muslim Ban in court since it was put in place by President Trump in 2017, and we commend the new administration for swiftly ending this xenophobic and discriminatory policy.

Will you join me in urging the Biden-Harris administration to continue to make it a top priority to protect and restore religious freedom?

The challenges facing our movement are monumental; there’s no denying that fact.

The Trump administration appointed a slew of federal judges, including three U.S. Supreme Court justices, who don't respect church-state separation. And in state governments, white Christian nationalists still hold outsized power to impose their narrow set of religious beliefs on the rest of us.

But friend, AU is ready to lead the fight.

On this historic day, please join us in urging President Biden to make religious freedom a top priority. Click here to add your name now.

Thanks for all you do to support our mission.

With hope and determination,

Rachel K. Laser
President and CEO
