Was läuft bei Jura in Sachen USA Geschäft? Kommen jetzt schärfer Kapitalanforderungen für die UBS? Und wie läuft das Italiengeschäft der Swisscom? Antworten ab Donnerstag 13.25 Uhr live vom #SRF2025 - der Stimmungstest der Schweizer Wirtschaft.
We attended The Summit for Religious Freedom near Washington DC this past weekend and loved participating in their first-of-a-kind organizers' summit. #SRF2025
National #SRF2025 Summit for Religious Freedom organized by #AmericansUnitedforSeparationofChurchandState Hill Day in Washington DC. Connecting with US Representatives & Senators for Church-State Separation & Religious Freedom for All!
Leaving DC after @americansunited.bsky.social’s Summit for Religious Freedom, the first of 3 events I’m attending this year featuring @katherinestewart.bsky.social, and of course her book is prominently displayed at DCA. #srf2025
This weekend Suzanne and I attended the Summit for Religious Freedom in Alexandra, VA. #srf2025 On Monday we visited our legislators to support the Do No Harm bill that would strengthen the separation of church and state.
The separation of church and state isn’t just about protecting people who practice their faiths - it’s about protecting people who don’t, too. Our schools must be safe, welcoming spaces for ALL of our children to learn critical thinking, collaboration, problem solving & resilience. #SRF2025
If we believe in the American Dream and believe in creating opportunities for all, then we cannot cut the one department in the country that enables opportunities for kids. Thank you @AmericansUnited.bsky.social. #SRF2025

The separation of church and state is fundamental to freedom, equality and democracy. We’re in DC lobbying for the Do No Harm act and against a National school voucher provision. #SRF2025 #1stAmendment #WhiteChristianNationalism #separationofchurchandstate
@rweingarten.bsky.social: Nonbelievers should have as many rights as believers do. Free exercise of religion means that everyone has the freedom to exercise their beliefs, or not exercise beliefs. #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: The single best argument against vouchers is, vouchers take money away from what makes schools great. It’s a wealth transfer - 7 of 10 vouchers used in the US go to students already in private schools. Vouchers deplete public school resources. #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: Misinformation is rampant, and people who believe in facts are at a disadvantage. More than facts right now, we must build trust - without trust and understanding, this chaos and isolationism we face will continue. #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: When we engage with parents and communities about what is important to them, it’s always the difference between hope and fear. There’s a lot to be anxious about right now - and Trump stokes that fear. How do we fight that fear? Create community. #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: In 21st century American the key skills kids need are critical thinking, problem solving, resilience, and collaboration. So we’re fighting to align the skills kids learn in schools with what they need for college and career. That’s the next big battleground. #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: It is the court of public opinion that will stem the tide of authoritarianism, stopping the erasure and threats to education. I believe that if people fully understood what was happening, we’d see a groundswell of people standing up. #SRF2025
Onto our Q&A section! We’re starting off with @rweingarten.bsky.social explaining the history of the Department of Ed, which was created to fill opportunity gaps in schools & create mechanisms to protecting civil rights in schools. #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: Kids must be free to be who they are, to believe what they believe. That is an American value going to our founding. And I’ll be damned if I let anyone take that right away. #SRF2025
@jemartisby.bsky.social at @americansunited.bsky.social #SRF2025: “There is no Christian nationalism in the U.S. without white supremacy.” @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social
@rweingarten.bsky.social: If you believe in opportunity in America, you don’t get rid of the one department in the country that enables opportunities for kids. Aren’t children our future? #SRF2025
@rweingarten.bsky.social: These aren’t normal times. And I say that because over and over, if we don’t understand that, we’ll bury our heads in the sand. These attacks will not go away unless we fight it - and to fight autocracy, we have to understand what they’re doing and why. #SRF2025
Good morning from Alexandria, VA! We’re joining @americansunited.bsky.social for a panel on public education at the #SRF2025 conference. Follow along in the thread below.
Picture of Paul Golin, Executive Director of the Society for Humanistic Judaism, speaking at a conference on the Jewish Response to Christian Nationalism.
Why are we talking about the Jewish response to Christian Nationalism? Well, for one not only is the separation of religion & state a foundational American principle, it’s a fundamental Jewish value. Honored to talk about this at the Summit for Religious Freedom!

@angeladenker.bsky.social at @americansunited.bsky.social #SRF2025: “We (the church) underestimates the reach that this cultural depiction (toxic masculinity) has…& the influence it has on white men and boys in all parts of the country, not just in evangelical church.” @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social
@angeladenker.bsky.social at @americansunited.bsky.social #SRF2025: “We have a Sec of Def (Pete Hegseth) has Christian Crusader tattoos. This is not a Republican, Democrat partisan battle. This is an ancient battle of what happens when religion is corrupted by Empire.” @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social
@jemartisby.bsky.social at @americansunited.bsky.social #SRF2025: “The black Christian political witness shows us you can be holy rooted in your faith or belief system, but not hijacked by an anti Democratic agenda.” @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social
@jemartisby.bsky.social at @americansunited.bsky.social #SRF2025: “Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to democracy and the witness of the church in the United States.” @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social

The average voucher amount in AZ is 6K, but the average tuition price is over $10K. Vouchers are not for the impoverished but for the economically advantaged. #vouchers #whiteChristiannationalism #1stAmendment #publiceducation #SRF2025
Public money should go to public schools, which are open to all races, beliefs and abilities. #vouchers #whiteChristiannationalism #1stAmendment #publiceducation #SRF2025
School vouchers are a scheme to shift public funds to private religious schools. Most of those schools are #Christian.
