Interfaith coalition launches bus tour against Christian nationalism
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.
“The perilous rise of White Christian nationalism in our country requires leaders of conscience to raise the call to live by our faith principles by actively resisting the tide of bigotry and hate,” said Dwayne Royster, a United Church of Christ pastor and executive director of Power Interfaith, the state’s largest faith-based organizing movement and the architect of the bus tour.
