With only a few days to go before the US presidential Election, more than 20 national African American leaders have protested over Hillary Clinton’s view on abortion and assault on the black community through her attacks on religious freedom, saying “Don’t black lives matter?”

The black leaders which includes bishops of most black churches, wrote an Open letter to Clinton expressing dissatisfaction over her stance on their First Amendment right to religious freedom and abortion. The letter was delivered yesterday to Clinton’s campaign headquarters in Brooklyn, New York by Dr. Jacqueline C. Rivers, the executive director of the Seymour Institute on Black Church and Policy Studies.

The letter titled “An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton Regarding Religious Freedom for Black America” had a handful of signatories who are hoping to set up a meeting with Clinton candidate to discuss some of the critical issues.

The Letter reads: Religious freedom is a precious right that we, as the leaders of the Black Church, must defend vigorously. While our society benefits in immeasurable ways from the principled and kindly lives of Christians and other people of faith, in particular as they serve the vulnerable in our midst, clearly our faith also brings us into conflict with secular society. It is at this very point that the brilliance of the framers of the United States constitution is evident, because they designed a system that guarantees people of every faith, as well as those of no faith at all, the right to follow their conscience. The highest courts in this land have gone on to defend the right of people of faith to honor the dictates of their religion unless there is a pressing need on the part of the state to intervene. The religious freedom laws currently in force ensure the right of the Black Church to fulfill its calling to faithful observance of our sacred texts, and the right of all other people of faith to do likewise. At the same time, they protect the rights of atheists, agnostics and indeed, people with every possible position on religion.
