CELEBRATING OUR 2025 HONOREE: KANSAS INTERFAITH ACTION & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RABBI MOTI RIEBER

Founded by Rabbi Moti Rieber almost 10 years ago, KIFA puts faith into action at the Kansas statehouse and beyond. Mainstream is honored to partner with KIFA and Rabbi Moti year-round as we work together to confront the rise of Christian Nationalism. KIFA advocates are a strong voice in the statehouse and our communities, and we are so very lucky to be able to call them friends.

FEATURED SPEAKER: AARON SCOTT

Aaron Scott is a leader with the Poor People's Campaign, a second-generation preacher, third-generation organizer, and co-founder of Chaplains on the Harbor. A church worker and organizer, he is a trans father and a Christian who grew up in poverty. He has watched loved ones and peers get recruited into White Christian nationalism. In Bring Back Your People, he shares strategies of relationship and conversation for those of us who don't know what to do.

Mainstream's annual fundraising event is the place to celebrate the power of Kansas voters and draw inspiration from community leaders. For over 30 years Mainstream has brought together civically engaged Kansans, from elected officials to advocates, across the political spectrum, to celebrate Mainstream's mission to defend church-state separation. Our Stand Up, Speak Out honoree embodies our core values: respect for the rights, beliefs, and freedoms of all individuals; the courage to unequivocally stand up for justice and equality; and the importance of engaging in the political process to secure those rights.
