Two years ago on Election Day, Lee May, pastor of Transforming Faith Church, a predominantly Black congregation in Stonecrest, Georgia, served as a poll chaplain, posted at a local voting site to promote calm at a time of intense political divisions. Most of the difficulties that day, he said, involved people who weren’t sure they were at their correct polling place.

A coalition of Pennsylvania faith leaders and activists have launched a multi-faith and multi-racial bus tour to oppose Christian nationalism and defeat its proponents in the upcoming midterm elections.

The Freedom Express Bus Tour began with an October 18 rally in Philadelphia to kick off a planned three-week journey to canvass the state with messages challenging White supremacy and urging pro-democracy voters to make their voices heard on Election Day.
