Important Update: In the recent Live Event for 'Christians For Kamala' Charles Toy mentioned 'one of our biggest concerns about the upcoming election.' He said it was the top blog post on our blog. Since this post is now the top blog post we're going to link the 'Top Concern' post here so it doesn't get lost if people are looking of for it. The topic is too important to get lost. Here is that link: "Our Biggest Concern for the 2024 Election."
We were recently asked to participate with "Christians For Kamala." We were honored to be asked and we agreed to do everything we can to help.
The first live event took place on August 12th, and it was a great success! The Youtube video of the entire event is above. The Christian Left was represented by the Founder Charles Toy, (2:59:45 in the video), Co-founder Mark Sandlin, (1:57:35 in the video), & official Action Partner Doug Pagitt, with Vote Common Good, (2:39:37 in the video). Two outside links were mentioned by Charles Toy in his segment. We're linking them here for your convenience. Here's the link to the outstanding documentary, 'God and Country,' (which is now steaming on Amazon Prime and most streaming outlets) and here's the link to the POLITICO article, 'The Real Origins of the Religious Right.' This article is the best summary out there of what really happened. Here's the website for "Christians For Kamala." You can still sign up to participate in all future activities and make a contribution if you're able. Our History We've spent the last 15 years serving Christian progressives and their allies. In 2009 we looked around and determined it was a very underserved community. We decided we wanted to dedicate our lives to 'being the change' we wanted to see in the world. Our core message has been centered on one concept, as Christians we need to get back to the words, teachings and life of that guy at the center of our faith, Jesus. Christianity in the US has gone off the rails in a big way. Lately, the notion of "Christian Nationalism," has become a serious problem. We can't say enough about the new documentary film, "God & Country!" It echoes sentiments we've expressed for 15 years! We've worked with most of the commentators featured in the film. It's available to stream now. Please check it out by following the link in this paragraph. We promise you'll be glad you did! Over 15 years we have built a community across multiple social media platforms: • The Christian Left Facebook Page (our main platform), 375K followers; • Progressive Christians & Friends Facebook Page (2nd Facebook Page), 139K followers; • The Christian Left X (Twitter) Page, 19K followers; • The Christian Left Instagram Page, 18K followers; • The Christian Left Threads Page, 8K followers; • The Christian Left Website; • The Christian Left Blog; • The Christian Left Email List; • The Christian Left & Sojourners Magazine. We'll be spending all the days leading up to the election doing everything we can to help Kamala Harris get elected. We will engage with our community members on all of the above platforms. The Christian Left Facebook Page is where most of the action happens. We can't say it enough. It's an honor to be working with "Christians For Kamala."

Trump Loyalists Refusing To Certify The Election If He Loses No one explains it better than the great Rachel Maddow. Maddow: Pro-Trump administrators are already in place to subvert the 2024 election Maddow points out frightening truth about Trump's lack of concern about votes Additional information can be found in a recent, well-researched article in Rolling Stone. The article is linked directly below. This is information everyone needs to be aware of. People in positions where they can do something about this need to address this problem well before Election Day. After that, it will be too late. These Swing State Election Officials Are Pro-Trump Election Deniers "Nearly 70 pro-Trump conspiracists are election officials in key battleground counties — and they are poised to make a giant mess on Election Day" By Justin Glawe - Rolling Stone, July 29, 2024 Here's another article: Get Ready Now: Republicans Will Refuse to Certify a Harris Win Trumpist county election officials are preparing to throw the process into chaos. We've been asking as many people as we can what can be done about this. So far, one valuable bit of knowledge we've gained is the name and website of the person who probably knows more than anyone else in the country about this problem: Founder of Democracy Docket and Partner at Elias Law Group, Marc Elias. We strongly encourage you to visit his website and read over the articles he's written. Here's the direct like to Democracy Docket if the above link doesn't work for you. https://www.democracydocket.com/author/marc_elias/ Update August 14, 2024 Rachel has been talking about the following report and she announced it a couple days ago when it came out. She says it's important for everyone to read. "A legal roadmap to protect the 2024 election including from 35 officials who have refused to certify results." "In this report, CREW identifies 35 rogue election officials across the country who have already refused to certify election results and may be in a position to do so again. The report focuses on the eight states where county officials have unlawfully refused to certify elections since 2020: Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan. The report also identifies the legal remedies available to state and federal authorities, as well as voters, to protect the certification of the 2024 election."
