Washington, D.C. — Following the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, February 6, please join a call with progressive faith leaders from the Center for American Progress and partner organizations as they discuss how the president’s policies have had a negative impact on people of faith.

Speakers will address how the president has distorted faith values and the valuable principle of religious freedom in order to attack the LGBTQ community, religious minorities, and other vulnerable groups. They will also discuss the rise of anti-semitism, white nationalism, and Islamophobia during the Trump administration.
