LOS ANGELES, CA – Communities of faith and conscience, alongside all people of goodwill, are invited to stand in powerful solidarity this Sunday at the “Enough! Rally to Restore Democracy & Dignity.” This non-partisan and non-violent event aims to reaffirm foundational democratic values and counteract the rise of authoritarianism, white Christian nationalism, fear, and greed.
Organized by the Interfaith Solidarity Network, and co-sponsored by the California Poor People’s Campaign and Northridge Indivisible, the rally will be a vibrant gathering featuring compelling music, inspiring speakers, and engaged community action. Participants will exercise their civic and moral leadership to uplift compassion, courage, truth, kinship, and loving kindness – values essential to the fabric of our democracy. The event will serve as a crucial platform to build community and support for one another during these challenging times.
Evan Clark, Interfaith Solidarity Network Board Member and Executive Director of Atheists United, emphasizes the urgency of the moment: “It’s more vital than ever that we stand together as communities of faith and conscience for democracy and the shared values it represents.”
