Stop Russia Bombing Christians

Email Subject:

Dear [Your Elected Official],

I am writing as your constituent to ask you to co-sponsor the Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act, H.R. 8433 / S. 4379. Last night, Russia bombed the 11th-century Pechersk Monastery in Kyiv, setting fire to one of the most sacred Christian sites in Ukraine. This attack is a brutal reminder that Russia’s war is not only against Ukrainian territory, but against its people and culture.
Russia claims to defend Christianity and traditional values, but its actions show the opposite. Russian forces have damaged or destroyed over 700 churches, seized houses of worship, tortured and executed clergy, and pressured religious communities in occupied Ukraine to submit to Moscow-controlled religious authority.
The Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act would put Russia’s religious persecution in Ukraine on the official record, identify the officials and entities responsible, and authorize sanctions against them. This is how Congress can use American leverage to deter Russia’s campaign against religious freedom: by making clear that bombing churches and forcing Ukrainian believers under Moscow’s control will have consequences.
Please co-sponsor H.R. 8433 / S. 4379 and help hold Russia accountable for bombing sacred sites, persecuting believers, and using religion as a weapon of occupation.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[Your City & State]

Hello, my name is [Name], and I am a constituent from [City].

I’m calling to ask [Representative/Senator Name] to co-sponsor the Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act, H.R. 8433 / S. 4379.

Last night Russia bombed the 11th-century Pechersk Monastery in Kyiv, one of the most sacred Christian sites in Ukraine. Russian forces have damaged or destroyed over 700 churches, seized houses of worship, tortured and executed clergy, and pressured religious communities in occupied Ukraine to submit to Moscow-controlled religious authority.

The bill would put Russia’s religious persecution in Ukraine on the official record, identify the people responsible, and authorize sanctions against them. Congress should make clear that bombing churches, attacking clergy, and forcing Ukrainian believers under the Kremlin’s control will carry consequences.

Please co-sponsor the War on Faith Act. Thank you.

Summary

Last night Russia bombed the 11th century Pechersk Monastery in Kyiv. The attack set fire to one of the most sacred Christian sites in Ukraine and showed the world what Moscow’s so-called defense of faith really means. Russia claims to defend Christianity, but its war has burned churches, seized houses of worship, persecuted and executed clergy, and pressured religious communities in occupied Ukraine to submit to Moscow-controlled religious authority. This is not only hypocrisy. It is forced Russification through the destruction of religious freedom. The Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act is a targeted, bipartisan accountability bill that would require the U.S. government to document Russia’s persecution of religious communities in Ukraine and impose sanctions on those responsible. By exposing perpetrators and creating consequences, Congress can help deter Russia from continuing to use religious destruction as a weapon of war. Contact your Members of Congress today and urge them to co-sponsor H.R. 8433 / S. 4379, the Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act. Tell them Russia must not be allowed to bomb sacred Christian sites, persecute believers, and force Ukrainian faith communities into submission to Moscow.
