What is Christian Nationalism? How can it be dangerous? And how prevalent is it, really?
To answer these questions (and more!), two grantees, PRRIPoll & @USDemocracyLab @UConn partnered to research Christian Nationalism in America.

This Election Season, groups resisting Christian Nationalism are hopping on buses and encouraging people to vote for candidates and policies that support pluralism and democracy. Up first, check out @intrfthalliance The Vote Is Sacred tour. #pluralistresistance (h/t @GuthrieGF)

Meanwhile, the Nuns on the Bus just completed a cross-country bus tour calling on "Catholics and people of goodwill to be multi-issue voters for the common good" and for "an inclusive, multiracial, multi-faith democracy." #pluralistresistance x.com/NETWORKLobby/status/18…
A vote is a prayer for the world we want to see. 🌎 🕊️
Let your ballot be a prayer for justice, compassion, and a future for EVERYONE. Vote early, vote with purpose.
