The Faithful Fight: Toolkits for countering authoritarianism
- April 2, 2025
American values and institutions are under threat. Religious communities can play a pivotal role in protecting our neighbors and building a stronger democracy. The Faithful Fight toolkits offer strategies to bring us together, and help us to act.

Throughout history — on the global stage and in states across America — religious leaders and communities have played a crucial role in protecting people and pushing back against authoritarian systems. As an authoritarian president consolidates power in the United States, now is the time for religious leaders and communities in the United States to organize and mobilize.
The Faithful Fight draws upon the experience and expertise of religious leaders from across denominations and across the country, bringing practical skills and uplifting stories to help religious communities take action in ways that align with their values and their skills.
We are stronger than we think — especially when we come together. Let’s get to work.
