Project 2025 is the playbook for an authoritarian takeover of American democracy. Our rights and freedoms are on the line, and faith communities must unite to stop Project 2025 before it’s too late. Interfaith Alliance's Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons was the first to draw attention to the role of Christian nationalism in Project 2025, and will join us to share his research and how we can best respond.
