Moore, who has been vocal on issues of religious liberty, stated that the resolution had received widespread support from civil society and advocacy groups across the United States.
55 organisations endorse Moore’s Nigeria resolution
In a public statement, Moore revealed that more than 55 organisations had endorsed the resolution.
These include legal advocacy groups, religious freedom coalitions, and faith-based organisations.
“I am also grateful for the more than 55 outside organizations that have endorsed this resolution including: @ADFLegal @CatholicVote @CPAC @FRCdc @CWforA @FaithnLibertyDC @ACLJ @EagleForum @CLS_HQ @indefchristians @family_policy @JoinCEANow @CMDANational @FaithandFreedom @1stLiberty @Heritage_Action @RevMahoney @StantonPolicy @persecutionnews @CSI_humanrights @GlobalPeace @PatriotVoices @OpenDoorsUS @IrfSecretariat @ShaiFund @PersecutedSave @FdnLeah @CSW_UK @CSWUSA @csw_nigeria @JubileeCUSA @AmericanEvang @CFI_Freedom @KGIglobal @AfricanJewish @BPSOS @CAMSAcoalition @NRBassociation @aicongress @newwineskins @gafconference @forthemartyrs @DrJamesDobsonFT @helppersecuted @UsIcrm5.”
The resolution has sparked renewed interest in the issue of religious persecution in Nigeria, where attacks on Christian communities have drawn international concern in recent years.
Call for global attention on Nigeria’s religious freedom
Moore’s initiative is part of a broader push by US lawmakers and advocacy groups to spotlight religious freedom challenges around the world.
By listing the organisations publicly, Moore appeared to signal a growing coalition of support for policy action on Nigeria.
The resolution is expected to be debated in Congress, with supporters hoping it will lead to increased diplomatic pressure and humanitarian engagement.
This development comes amid ongoing calls from human rights groups for governments to take stronger stances against religious violence and discrimination globally.
Nigeria government and international bodies reactions
Nigeria, AU, and ECOWAS have rejected Trump’s claims of Christian persecution and threat of military action.
In the past few days, the Nigerian government, the African Union (AU), and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have strongly dismissed claims made by US President Donald Trump regarding alleged Christian persecution in Nigeria and his threat to deploy troops.
