We support the Do No Harm Act, because it will protect all Americans’ religious freedom. 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.

Representatives Joseph Kennedy III (D-MA) and Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) introduced the Do No Harm Act on Thursday, February 28, 2019.

The bill is simple:  It's designed to restore the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act to its original intent. It will preserve the law's power to protect religious freedom, but also clarify that it may not be used to harm others.   

Under the bill, people can still use RFRA in many cases, including those involving the right to wear religious garb and observe religious holidays. RFRA, however, could not be used in ways that harm other people.
