On Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 3:30 pm ET / 12:30 pm PT FAN held our fourth annual Faith in Democracy Interfaith Prayer Vigil. This hybrid event was livestreamed and held in-person at the Lutheran Church of the Reformation (212 East Capitol St NE, Washington DC).

This powerful gathering brought together faith leaders and believers from a variety of traditions, all speaking from sacred texts that guide us to protect the rights of all and to resolve our differences without violence. In the United States, our way of doing that is through a properly functioning and fully representative democracy.
