With the U.S. currently at a dangerous crossroads, it is an imperative for Christians and people of all faiths to confront white Christian nationalism and work to preserve, protect, and expand our democracy. 

NETWORK invites you to join us for our third installment of conversations between Father Bryan Massingale, the James and Nancy Buckman Chair in Applied Christian Ethics at Fordham University, Dr. Robert P. Jones, President and Founder of the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), and Joan F. Neal, Deputy Executive Director and Chief Equity Officer at NETWORK. 

Joan Neal will moderate the discussion as Fr. Massingale and Dr. Jones share insight into the ways in which white Christian nationalism threatens our democracy and the vision of the common good embraced by Catholic Social Teaching and multiple Christian faiths. 

The theology and values that white Christian nationalists proclaim are foreign to Jesus's teachings, and the othering, bullying, and violence are completely unholy. At the policy level, white Christian nationalism is the antithesis of solidarity, laying the foundations for a society in which only a privileged few flourish. The corrosive effects of these policies and the unrest they create push our country further and further down the path to authoritarianism. 

Laura Peralta-Schulte, NETWORK's Senior Director of Public Policy and Government Relations, and Darcy Hirsh, Senior Director of Policy and Advocacy at the Interfaith Alliance, will reveal how our tax policy that favors the ultra-wealthy and corporations allows billionaires to fund harmful, hateful, and undemocratic state legislation that is undergirded by white Christian nationalism.

Together, our presenters will cast the vision for a how people of faith can reclaim the public square and build a pluralistic, multi-racial democracy where all may flourish--no exceptions!

We hope you can join us!
