We condemn political and religious extremism. Using faith to cause harm is not new. How we respond to it should be. We want to keep extremism from spreading in the Equality State.

Recently some of our elected and community leaders have been willing to engage in such rhetoric and align themselves with those nationally who amplify messages of fear and hate. With a rise in extremists’ propaganda entering Wyoming communities, it is imperative that Wyoming’s communities—including people of faith across Wyoming—denounce it.

Hate is not the foundation of any faith. Language used to incite violence and hate, or cause despair and oppression is a contradiction to what we know faith is meant to do:

Bring hope and freedom.

We invite you to join us in denouncing political and religious extremism. Please join us in bringing healing and peace to Wyoming.
