Take Action
Speak Up for Persecuted Christians in Russia
In A Faith Under Siege: Russia's Hidden War on Christians, we expose the harsh reality of religious persecution in Russia. But awareness alone isn’t enough—we need action.
Below, you'll find how to reach your representatives and best practices for making your voice heard.
How to Communicate Effectively
Elected officials rely on their constituents to stay informed about critical issues. A well-crafted message can make a real impact. Here’s how to get their attention:
-
Make it personal: Mention any previous interactions with their office.
Be clear and concise: Stick to one or two key points.
Share your story: A personal connection makes your message more compelling.
Provide your contact information: This allows staff to follow up if needed.

Subject: Stand Against Religious Persecution in Russia
Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],
I am writing to express my deep concern over the persecution of Christians in Russia, as documented in A Faith Under Siege: Russia’s Hidden War on Christians. Religious freedom is a fundamental human right, and the U.S. must take a stand against Russia’s violations.
I urge you to support policies that advocate for religious liberty, including diplomatic pressure on the Russian government and targeted sanctions against those responsible for these human rights abuses. Please consider making this issue a priority.
Thank you for your leadership and your commitment to human rights. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
