We, the people.
A Multi-Faith Call to Consciousness for the United States
We are living in a moment that calls for moral clarity— and imagination.
We the People is an invitation to co-author an open letter to people of faith — one that rejects the growing tyranny in our country and claims the future we deserve.
On August 17at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT, thousands of people of faith and conscience across the country will come together— in real time, online — to lay down the frustrations of the moment, imagine a new reality inspired by the wisdom of our faiths, and name the actions people of faith can take to make it real.
Participation is free and open to anyone with an internet connection.
Registration is required in advance:
How we’ll write together
This is not a statement authored by a few. It is a collective voice — and here's how we're building it together:
1. Theologians are laying the groundwork. An interfaith group of theologians and religious leaders is meeting now to shape guiding questions and a preamble, so the process is ready to hold everyone's contributions.
2. On August 17, we write together. Everyone who registers will receive a link to join a free, collaborative platform called Synanim. In small groups, participants will write about what the next 250 years of this country should be.
3. The voices converge into one letter. Each small group elects a representative to help refine the ideas further. The result is a single open letter — a true representation of our collective voice — with one person emerging from the process to carry that vision to the press and the public.
What happens Next?
In early fall, we’ll share what emerges from this process: an open letter shaped by thousands across the country, naming who we are and what we’re called to create.
A short film will bring this to life, with voices from across the country expressing what this moment means.
We look forward to sharing it with you!
