Amanda Tyler, executive director of BJC and lead organizer of the Christians Against Christian Nationalism campaign, testified at a congressional hearing on international religious freedom. “The best way we can make a difference is by not adding more fuel to the fire of religious extremism and nationalism. Instead, we should focus on being a role model to the world by ensuring the institutional separation of church and state, which protects all of us,” Tyler said during her testimony.
"This decision is a victory for religious minorities, who disproportionately claim the need for workplace religious accommodations," said BJC General Counsel Holly Hollman.
"The first national strategy to counter antisemitism is a helpful step forward in the ongoing work of fulfilling our country’s promise of religious freedom for all," BJC Executive Director Amanda Tyler said.
BJC is proud to announce its acquisition of the Center for Faith, Justice, and Reconciliation, creating the new BJC Center for Faith, Justice and Reconciliation. This marks an exciting new chapter for both organizations, deepening BJC's commitment to issues at the intersection of race and religious freedom.
