Who We Are

Interfaith Justice Idaho (an affiliate of Interfaith Alliance) brings together people of diverse faiths and beliefs in our state to champion religious freedom, protect democracy, and build inclusive communities.

This new organization brings together two long-standing interfaith groups (Interfaith Equality Coalition and Interfaith Alliance) who have worked tirelessly to champion equality in our state. As one cohesive, integrated, interfaith organization connected to the powerful work of the national Interfaith Alliance we can work more effectively together on justice issues impacting Idahoans, especially those on the margins.

In a time like this, our shared voice matters! Our different faith traditions have a lot to offer, and this is an important moment to come together in advocacy, care, and protection of our neighbors.
