There is power in coming together — among people of all religions and none, across age, race, gender, ability, geography, orientation, and politics — to protect freedom without favor and equality without exception for everyone.

That channeling of power will take place at the Summit for Religious Freedom (SRF, pronounced “surf”), the annual gathering at the heart of a growing, justice-rooted movement to protect inclusive religious freedom and church-state separation — the constitutional promises working together to guarantee everyone the right to live as themselves and believe as they choose, as long as they don’t harm others.

SRF is where advocates, organizers, experts, faith and secular leaders, and everyday people connect the dots between church-state separation and the issues that depend on it, like inclusive public schools, racial equality, LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and more. It’s where we come together to defeat Christian Nationalists and other extremists that threaten a pluralistic democracy where everyone can thrive.

At SRF 2026, you’ll hear from leading voices on church-state issues and engage in programming designed to inform, equip, and mobilize our movement. You can take part in Hill Day, visiting congressional offices to deliver materials that support inclusive religious freedom, and register for the SRF Organizing Institute, a hands-on interactive training in church-state advocacy.

Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is proud to convene SRF and create a space where every person and organization who connects to these issues can come together to learn, teach, share, network, and recharge for the fight ahead.
