People of faith and other supporters came together outside the Supreme Court on Monday for a time of song and testimony in defense of the Affordable Care Act. On Monday the Court began hearing three days of arguments on the constitutionality of the law passed in 2010, which ensures all Americans have access to affordable health care.
The gathering serves as a statement of solidarity among the faithful progressive community in response to the religious rhetoric often employed by opponents of affordable health care. Leaders from Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions spoke to the scriptural mandates of taking care of the less fortunate.
