Bipartisan support and contribution included presentations by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Marco Rubio, and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
Just under 80 percent of the world’s population lives in areas of high levels of constraint on the free practice of religion.
As Amjad Khan who served as cochair for the summit’s congressional advocacy day said, “We have people who don't agree politically on anything, but they agree on this…They're very few things on Capitol Hill where people can come together protecting prisoners of conscience, speaking against religious oppression, focusing on real lives that are being affected by the genocide…”
Echoing Mr. Khan’s sentiments, Congressman French Hill said, “Religious freedom, both in our country as well as around the world, has been a real point of bipartisanship."
