The elections were awful. I know.
However, there were a LOT of bright spots for openly non-religious candidates at the state and federal levels.
That includes a *record* number of campaign victories.

It’s insane that Democrats have offered almost no outreach to explicitly non-religious Americans when we’re just as vital to their success as conservative Christians are to the GOP.
(And yes, there are ways they could do it!)

Some personal news:
Excited to take the helm at @americnhumanist & @CtrFreethought, which for 80+ years have promoted humanist values & defended secular democracy.
Because humans are awesome, helping each other is the highest good, & the freedom to believe is worth fighting for.
I’m Fish Stark and I’ve just joined the AHA as the new Exec. Director. As a lifelong humanist, I look forward to advancing our values & protecting the separation of church & state. Watch my video & donate to join the fight. americanhumanist.org/humanis…

EXCLUSIVE: The American Humanist Association has hired Fish Stark as its new executive director.
Fish is an organizer, educator, and son of Pete Stark, the first openly humanist member of Congress.

Project 2025 aims to completely upend everything about the way we live, including public education. If this Christian-nationalist pipe dream becomes our shared reality, public education will be one of the first targets to get a Project 2025 makeover. religiondispatches.org/want-…

Today marks 2 years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
Now, 1 in 3 women live in a state with an abortion ban violating their freedom, health, & safety. I won’t stop fighting until we restore Roe as the law of the land once again.
For two years, women in America have felt the devastating impact of the Dobbs decision.
House Democrats are taking action to restore reproductive freedom.
ALT Two years after Roe v. Wade was overturned 1 in 3 women live under an abortion ban. 1 in 5 patients traveled out of state for abortion care. 80& of House Republicans endorse a national abortion ban with zero exceptions for rape and incest. More than 3 in 5 Americans support abortion rights.

Every year on June 21, humanists across the world celebrate World Humanist Day, which originated in the 1980s when several of our local chapters began celebrating. For many, it is a day for uplifting the tenets & values of humanism and gathering with loved ones. #WorldHumanistDay

“Once I was in office, it was critical that I get more involved as a member of the secular community. Particularly because I’ve seen the exact opposite of what happens when you have unchecked white Christian Nationalism in government.” —Kristiana De Leon
