With so many attempting to fast from spending at various pro-Trump corporations (including us!), we want to offer support. How's it going? Has it been easy or challenging to stick to your fast? Let's celebrate our attempt to free ourselves from the power of these corporations! #corporatefastfridays

YES! We can all find ways to shift our individual relationships to billionaires and corporations that are doing harm, even as we organize together to find ways to shift the dynamics that benefit them more broadly in our society. It's both/and! And thank you for fasting with us 👏

This Lent, we're fasting from financially supporting the billionaires and corporations that are stoking hate and supporting Trump -- and we're doing it together, as a community of social-justice Christians. act.faithfulamerica.org/signup/lente...

We sure are -- thanks @wordandway.bsky.social! Also, those graphics from NETWORK are giving us LIFE! #GiveUpBillionairesForLent

Yes!!! 👏👏👏 Nearly 17k Faithful America members have also sent messages to their senators to let them know that social justice Christians want them to reject Trump's immoral cuts to Medicaid. You can join them here: act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/budget-...

EXCLUSIVE(S): In pair of Lent-focused letters, major Christian leaders and denominations blast the Trump admin, call on fellow Christians to take action to protect immigrants, refugees and the poor as a matter of faith. religionnews.com/2025/03/04/c...

Transactional gratitude is central to Trumpism.

Have you seen horrible video Trump posted on Truth Social to advertise his takeover of Gaza? We're here to help make the idolatry more obvious (not that we needed to! 🤢). You can read an article about the video here: www.npr.org/2025/02/26/n...

Here's why Christians should consider participating in the boycott being observed by many tomorrow, February 28 (A 🧵):

Donald Trump's executive orders have put trans children and teens in danger of losing protection against discrimination in school, access to life-saving counseling and medical care, and even the ability to strengthen their bodies and build friendships through sports.

The Trump-Vance administration has launched unprecedented attacks on faith communities and religious freedom during its first month in office. Join our coalition call TODAY at 8pm ET to learn about the multi-faceted attacks and be equipped to fight back -- featuring Rep. Jamie Raskin!

There, we fixed it:

“Trump’s proposed task force to eradicate so-called anti-Christian bias is really another mechanism through which he & his disciples can enforce their own brand of Christianity on the rest of us." - Karli Thompson @faithfulamerica.bsky.social #ChristianNationalism baptistnews.com/article/trum...

Don't obey in advance! Faith groups are holding an organizing call to strategize how we can build a country where faith organizations and vulnerable populations are supported, not attacked. RSVP here: bit.ly/dontobeycallpt2

Thanks, but no thanks. Trump's proposed task force to eradicate so-called anti-Christian bias is really another mechanism through which he and his disciples can enforce their own brand of Christianity on the rest of us.

Join us on January 11th from 8-9pm ET for an organizing call on how to ground your activism in these times and take action to stop retribution against our communities. RSVP here: bit.ly/dontobeycall... @interfaithalliance.org @sojo.net @lisasharper.bsky.social @faithfulamerica.bsky.social

Oh wow. Full video from Bishop Eaton, who concludes w/the story of Saint Lawrence, who defied a Roman emperor by insisting the riches of the church were the poor and needy. Eaton concludes: “he was martyred for that. Be of good courage, church, and let us preserve.” www.youtube.com/watch?v=Liqz...

They introduced a House resolution accusing an Episcopal bishop of “political activism” for preaching about mercy. They attacked Catholic bishops for defending aid to immigrants. They’re sending ICE into our churches. Now, they’re falsely accusing Lutherans of “money laundering.” See a pattern?

J.D. Vance is obviously wrong about what it means to love your neighbor (just read the parable of the Good Samaritan). But this isn't just a misunderstanding, or a misreading of the text. A 🧵 >>

Imagine having the nerve to say that a member of Christian clergy asking someone in power to have mercy on the vulnerable is in any way "inappropriate." This is a direct attack on the religious liberty of any Christian who disagrees with the theology or worldview of the religious right.

On Bishop Budde, the over-the-top reaction from Donald Trump and his friends, and the religious right's kryptonite -- a thread:

EXCITING NEWS: In partnership with our allies at @freedomroad.bsky.social, @interfaithalliance.org, and many others, our petition asking the Senate to carefully vet Trump's cabinet nominees has been delivered in person to key Senate offices in PA, NC, SC, GA, SD, NY and FL!
