We are a group of passionate advocates dedicated to restoring and protecting the fundamental rights enshrined in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution—specifically, the rights of religious institutions and their leaders to speak freely without government interference. We believe that free speech is a cornerstone of the American Republic, and we are committed to ending the silencing of religious voices in public discourse.

Our focus is the repeal of the Johnson Amendment, a law that has, since 1954, curtailed the ability of tax-exempt religious organizations to engage in political speech. While the law was originally intended to keep religious institutions from endorsing political candidates or engaging in partisan activities, its broader impact has been to create a climate of fear and self-censorship within houses of worship. Clergy, unsure of where the boundaries lie, often refrain from speaking on important moral and political issues—issues that are central to the faith and beliefs of their congregations.

This silence is a direct contradiction to the vision the framers of the Constitution had for religious freedom. The First Amendment was designed to protect not only the right to worship but also the right of religious institutions to engage in public discourse on issues of morality, justice, and public policy. Just as religious leaders played a pivotal role in shaping the moral conscience of the nation during the American Revolution, so too must they be free to speak out on the issues of the day without fear of government reprisal.

Our advocacy seeks to honor this rich legacy of religious and political engagement. We believe that houses of worship must be free to speak boldly about issues of justice, equality, and the moral foundations of society. The voices of religious leaders are vital in shaping a healthy, vibrant republic, and we stand united in calling for the repeal of the Johnson Amendment to ensure that these voices are no longer stifled.

We are motivated by the belief that when the government limits the freedom of religious institutions to speak, it diminishes the moral strength of society as a whole. We are committed to ensuring that houses of worship, without fear of losing their tax-exempt status, can once again engage fully in the public square, providing moral guidance on the critical issues of our time.

The repeal of the Johnson Amendment is not just about politics; it is about restoring the right of religious institutions to speak with moral clarity in a world that desperately needs their wisdom. It is about reaffirming the sacred principle that religious freedom and free speech must remain free from government control. Join us as we work to bring back the full promise of the First Amendment for religious institutions across the nation.
