Federal legislation and resolutions
If you live in one of the 50 states, you have voting representation in Congress. Your member of the House of Representatives and your two U.S. Senators need to hear from you about legislation they have under consideration.

Ask your members of Congress to support the NO BAN Act: President Donald Trump issued a new travel ban in his second administration that prohibits or limits nationals from more than a dozen countries from entering the United States. It went into effect June 9, 2025, and it will separate families, strand lawful residents, and normalize religious and racial discrimination in U.S. immigration policy.
There’s a way for you to oppose it: Support the NO BAN Act (S.398/H.R. 924) to ensure no president can use executive power to impose religious or racial discrimination in our immigration system.

Contact your member of the U.S. House of Representatives about House Resolution 59, which seeks to declare Bishop Mariann Budde's sermon at an interfaith prayer service a “distorted message.” While differing opinions on matters of faith and interpretation of Scripture are to be expected in a free country, we must continue to be clear: it is our role, not that of the government's, to decide what is true and right in matters of faith.
A petition is a formal written appeal to an authority such as an elected official or organization, and it contains demonstrated support on an issue in the form of signatures. Petitions can be physical letters with written signatures or they can be created online. They are most effective as an advocacy tool when they make a direct request to a decision maker to act on an issue while also raising public awareness.

Chaplains, faith groups and civil rights organizations across the country are speaking out against a wave of proposed state legislation seeking to install chaplains in public schools. A letter from chaplains and a letter from people of faith are both still accepting signatures, and they highlight the dangers of allowing chaplains, who are not typically trained or certified to provide educational or mental health services to youth, to assume the responsibilities of qualified professional school counselors and other staff.
Professional and retired chaplains: click here to read and sign a letter. By signing this letter, you are also letting us know that you are a chaplain, and we might be able to let you know about other specific opportunities for chaplains in different states to take action.
All people of faith concerned about the issue: click here to read and sign a letter.
Federal agencies will often seek public comments on proposed rule changes. Your comment matters — public comments become part of the official record and signal where people of faith stand. And, speaking up is a way to dissent if the proposed rule change is problematic and to be in solidarity with those harmed by these changes.

The Trump administration, through the U.S. Department of Labor, is attempting to undermine religious freedom by loosening restrictions on the use of public funds for religious activity and proselytization in federally funded workforce programs.
Today, if a church receives federal funding to provide job training, clear rules apply: services may be offered, but public funds cannot be used to require prayer, religious instruction, or participation in religious activities, and people receiving help must be told their rights and how to report concerns if those lines are crossed. If those rules are loosened, people seeking job training could be required — or feel pressured — to participate in religious activities in order to access publicly funded services.
