Nonpartisan bus tour will mobilize faith voters, promote election protection and prepare faith communities for potential election crises
Interfaith Alliance, https://interfaithalliance.org/
a national leader in defending religious freedom and multi-faith democracy, today announced the return of “The Vote Is Sacred” tour, a national nonpartisan bus tour mobilizing faith communities ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
The unique tour will travel through 15 states across October and November, significantly expanding on a six-state, nine-day tour organized by Interfaith Alliance in 2024. It will officially launch Oct. 6 in Omaha, Nebraska, following a special preview event in Kansas City, Missouri on Oct. 5.
At each stop along the route, Interfaith Alliance is partnering with local faith groups and diverse religious leaders on nonpartisan get out the vote activities and training local faith communities about election interference threats coming from the Trump administration. The route was shaped by the nonpartisan Voting Rights Lab’s new election-risk map, allowing the tour to support local communities where threats to free and fair elections are the greatest.

Our democracy is at a crossroads, and the sacred right to vote is very much on the line,” said Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, President and CEO of Interfaith Alliance. “At a time when free and fair elections are under threat and anti-democratic forces seek to weaponize religion for their own harmful ends, faith communities can play a vital role in helping their neighbors defend our elections and the democratic process. Through this tour, we are bringing together diverse faith communities and inspiring local leaders to affirm that democracy belongs to all of us.”
The name of the campaign was inspired by the late Representative, civil rights icon and Baptist minister John Lewis, who said "The vote is precious, almost sacred."

This looks like a Leftist operation.
Muslims and tares and secular humanists and even pagans welcome is my guess.
They know they can’t win without .....
So the plan is “ by any means” at midterms IMHO.
Check out what they say
“The linked election playbook instructs religious organizations to avoid favoring candidates when distributing voting information. That is an explicit rule in the materials. Faith in Elections Playbook, page 10.
The political framing is equally explicit: Trump is named as a source of danger”
How is calling Trump and maga “ dangerous “ avoiding favoring candidates?
It isn’t.
It’s double speak .
It’s intellectual dishonesty.
Apostate churches linked arm in arm with mosques and communists tormenting political violence on election day.
The vote is sacred, therefore it must be protected against anyone who is not legally permitted to vote, and no one else!
Formenting
Not tormenting
Communists in clerical costumes
With a name like this you would think they support the Save America Act. Wrong, they, like John Thune, support cheating on our elections. Kind of like Talarico faith. Talking out the sides of their neck.
Christianity, including Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal, and other mainline denominations, Judaism, Islam, Unitarian Universalism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism
Consider how muslims and hindus treat Christians in muslim and hindu nations. Coexist my ass!
More like 'the vote is SCARED tour'.
From Wikipedia:
“Interfaith Alliance is a national interfaith organization in the United States founded in 1994 to counteract the religious right.”
“Nonpartisan” equals slimy leftists—every single time.
Yep.
Yup.
