Add your nameFaith leaders endorse Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff

Posted: Dec. 10, 2020

The people defeated Donald Trump, and he will leave office on January 21 -- but most of his allies and enablers will get to keep their seats in Congress. Fortunately, we have one more chance this election season to send the hateful Trump agenda packing.

Without a thorough, national repudiation of white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and the religious right, the work of social-justice Christians is far from over. That's why faith leaders must speak up now, as Georgia voters prepare to determine control of the U.S. Senate with two runoff elections on January 5.

The Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock is the prophetic senior pastor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Ebenezer Baptist Church. Jon Ossoff is a progressive change maker and the Jewish son of an immigrant. Both men were close to civil-rights leader Rep. John Lewis.

Another term for right-wing senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue means more Trump-like lies and discrimination. That's why we're working with the progressive New Moral Majority to show that the right does not have a monopoly on religion, and that faith leaders across the country support Ossoff and Rev. Warnock -- two candidates who can help implement a true social-justice vision.

[Endorsement pledge by New Moral Majority]

As Christians and siblings from many faiths, guided by our values and conscience, we pledge our public support for Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in the Georgia U.S. Senate election. The balance of power of the U.S. Senate is in the hands of these two run-off elections on January 5th, 2021. The continued attack on truth, justice, and equality will continue unless we can move the Biden-Harris initiatives through Congress.

In the words of a well known Georgian, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle." Rev. Warnock and Jon Osoff cannot win this race unless we get behind them and show our public support. Ossoff is the Jewish son of an immigrant and was mentored by Congressman John Lewis; Rev. Warnock is a well known Black pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. These are the leaders we need at this turning point in Georgia politics to push the moral arc of America towards justice.

Rev. Warnock and Ossoff stand poised to join us in healing our nation. They will lead with hope instead of fear, love instead of hate, and unity instead of division.

In my capacity as an individual, I pledge public support for Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
