Stars Shine On Capitol Hill: An Amazing Day Of Advocating For Religious Freedom

As part of the Summit for Religious Freedom, Americans United's members and allies took to Capitol Hill on Apr 24. We were there to elevate the importance of church-state separation and advocate for the Do No Harm Act, a bill AU helped craft that would restore the nation's leading religious freedom law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, to its original intent and stop the misuse of religious freedom to license harm to others. We were fortunate to have Rev. Traci Blackmon, the named plaintiff in AU's and the National Women's Law Center's lawsuit challenging Missouri's abortion bans, speak at the Summit and then stay for lobby day. And we had two surprise guests: celebrities Bradley Whitford from "The West Wing" and "The Handmaid's Tale" and Amy Landecker from "Transparent" and "Your Honor."
