In 2026, our nation faces massive upheaval and multiple crises. But as Christians, we remain hopeful as we persevere in the midst of fear and uncertainty. We remain true to the gospel, true to Jesus’s call to love our neighbor as ourselves. Given the many challenges we face, it is critical that people of faith come to Washington DC to raise our voices. Psalm 24 declares that “the Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” This Psalm reminds us that we are bound to one another in responsibility, and can only be human together.

Join us in Washington DC, April 20–22, 2026, as we draw on our shared faith traditions to inspire one another, and call on Congress to commit to “Protecting People, Peace, and Planet!” Through worship, workshops, solidarity and Congressional visits, we will bring together a diverse group of Christians to remind Congress of our shared responsibility to care for all that belongs to God.
