A bipartisan effort is taking shape in Congress to protect houses of worship from targeted disruptions. Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY) and Congressman Brad Knott (R-NC) discuss their co-sponsored legislation, the Right to Worship Act. They describe how the bill creates a 100-foot protest-free buffer zone around religious services, safeguards First Amendment rights while stopping substantial disruptions, and brings together a diverse coalition of faith groups.
