Christian nationalism and anti-Muslim discrimination: Understanding the connection and taking action

Join Shoulder to Shoulder in a conversation with Amanda Tyler, Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty (BJC) to explore and unpack what Christian nationalism is, what it has to do with anti-Muslim discrimination, and what we can do about it. As a Christian herself, Amanda will share why she believes her fellow Christians must engage on this issue and she'll share insight and practical tips for educating and mobilizing faith communities on this issue, including lessons learned through her leadership of the Christians Against Christian Nationalism initiative. BJC is a national partner of the Shoulder and Shoulder campaign coalition and Amanda serves as Shoulder to Shoulder Steering Committee member.

Shoulder to Shoulder envisions an America where people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds are treated respectfully, fairly, and with dignity, and we directly engage faith communities to be strategic partners in countering anti-Muslim discrimination and violence in the United States.

"Christian nationalism demands Christianity be privileged by the State and implies that to be a good American, one must be Christian. It often overlaps with and provides cover for white supremacy and racial subjugation." - excerpt from Christians Against Christian Nationalism statement
