*************

We are living through a period of authoritarianism in our country that is rapidly consolidating and strengthening. The dominating politics of hate, fear, greed, and division are violating our shared values and tearing our country and democracy apart. It is our time to act in a new way.

Interfaith Alliance of Iowa has joined a movement of organizations in 15 states (and growing) initiated by ISAIAH Minnesota to be a collective voice against what is happening. It is a movement designed to stand with our neighbors and against authoritarianism. Standing with our neighbors. Standing against Christian nationalism. Standing for democracy.

In Iowa, we are calling it the “Standing With Our Neighbors” project. It is an all-encompassing movement based in our values and shaped by our beliefs. We care for our neighbors and we are using our voices to stand with them and against those who would harm them – and our democracy.

As part of the Standing With Our Neighbors project, we know that Christians have outsized power and privilege in our country. Therefore, Christians also have additional responsibility to speak up. Because of that, we are doing something unusual for us. Along with many clergy and lay people, we are helping to organize a Christian-focused protest and gathering: The Palm Sunday Public Witness on Sunday, March 29.

The Palm Sunday Public Witness is an action to amplify the Palm Sunday message around public witness and shaped by the call in Matthew 25 to care for our neighbors. The Palm Sunday Public Witness will include a march, a gathering with elements of worship, and a sending forth with a Call to Action. All are welcome.
