As your constituent, I am writing to ask you to co-sponsor S 1206 / HR 2725 the Do No Harm Act.
Religious freedom means that everyone should be able to practice their religion or no religion at all, so long as they do not harm others. And this bill is an important step to fulfilling that promise.
The Do No Harm Act will ensure that a federal law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), which was designed as a shield to protect religion, is not used as a sword to harm others. Our country is strongest when we are all free to believe or not, as we see fit, and to practice our faith without hurting others.
As you know, passage of the Do No Harm Act is more critical than ever. Unfortunately, RFRA is being misused to allow discrimination against LGBTQ people, women, religious minorities, nonreligious people and almost anyone else – all under the guise of religious freedom.
For example, the law has been misused to allow discrimination against workers, undermine people’s access to healthcare, and deny children in the foster care system the loving homes they deserve simply because families don’t meet the agency’s religious litmus test. The Do No Harm Act would serve to prevent dangerous rulings and policies like these in the future. Please co-sponsor it now! Thanks.
