Congratulations to BSLA Scholarship awardee Heather Buckner, a bioengineering major @UCBerkeley
She has a strong passion for mentoring Black girls and girls of color in STEM: "I especially want younger Black girls to look at engineering and think, 'hey, I can do that'!"
In the midst of Trump regime attacks on secularism, racial, social and educational justice in K-12 and higher education, support for African American and PoC students is paramount. Congrats to our 2026 First in the Family Humanist Forward Freethought $5K Scholarship awardees!

In yet another affirmation of anti-LGBT Christian religious indoctrination, zealotry and harm, SCOTUS rules against Colorado ban on ‘conversion therapy’ for LGBTQ kids which has proven to be dangerous to the mental health of queer children and adults. aol.com/articles/supreme-cou…

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.
Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.
Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.
We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

An atrocity that children and families will go hungry in the richest country on the planet due to the Trump and GOP crime syndicates' corrupt and illegal waste, fraud and abuse. Here are L.A. County food assistance resources and food banks to donate to secure.lafoodbank.org/
Tomorrow, the GOP will be responsible for starving millions of food insecure children and families with their corrupt immoral shutdown of SNAP benefits. L.A. County offers assistance resources at lafoodbank.org/find-food/pan… or at L.A. Parks and Rec parks.lacounty.gov/lacounty-…
