Interfaith Alliance has already gathered religious leaders to rehearse an election crisis. Now the organization is taking its operation nationwide—and explicitly identifying the Trump administration as the threat.
In a September 17 announcement, the group disclosed that it recently held a:
“mock election crisis response exercise.”
The rehearsal accompanies a six-week training program, a pledge of $200,000 for local election-protection activities, and a 15-state bus tour. The announcement says local religious communities will receive training about:
“election interference threats coming from the Trump administration.”
Interfaith Alliance calls the campaign nonpartisan. Its own announcement makes clear which administration participants are being mobilized to scrutinize. Interfaith Alliance’s announcement.
The rehearsal is part of a larger operation
The campaign’s website supplies details beyond the press release. It links an election-crisis planning toolkit, described as a 90-minute exercise with six scenarios for 2026, developed with Protect Democracy.
The operation combines voter registration and canvassing with a trained, peaceful presence at polling places. One of its four advertised components is bluntly titled:
“Fund the local organizers.”
Its training partners include the League of Women Voters, Interfaith America, Protect Democracy, and Sojourners. The fall schedule includes instruction for trusted messengers, election engagement by houses of worship, and a September 23 session on de-escalation and bystander intervention at the polls.
