Faithful Witness Wednesday
April 23, 2025

Join us in prayer and solidarity in our efforts to hold Congress and the administration accountable for actions that denigrate our commitment to integrity and peace. We have a moral responsibility to call ourselves and Congress to action - to publicly name such transgressions and to champion the common good with compassion and persistence.

Now is the time for courage, friends – to act for what we know is right and true, grounded in a peace that surpasses understanding.

A coalition of 29 organizations from The Washington Interfaith Staff Community (WISC) have co-organized a series of faithful witness vigils at the Capitol every Wednesday in March and 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 speak truth to power, highlighting what’s at stake and the communities already harmed.
