Faithful Witness Wednesday
April 16, 2025

If you are outraged by cruel executive actions and policies that tear families apart—often without due process—you are not alone. People of faith from across traditions are coming together to stand with immigrants and communities at risk.

Sojourners is one of 29 co-sponsors from The Washington Interfaith Staff Community (WISC) that are co-organizing a series of faithful witness vigils at the Capitol every Wednesday through the end of April. These multi-faith vigils call on Congress to exercise greater moral courage in upholding its Article 1 powers and stop executive overreach. These nonpartisan vigils will speak truth to power, highlighting what’s at stake and the communities already harmed. They feature faith leaders from diverse traditions offering inspirational prayers and calls for faithful action.
