About us
WELCOME!
HSGP is a warm and welcoming community of people with open minds and lots of questions. While we have a lot of diverse opinions and interests, we are accepting and tolerant of differing ideas and positions. While non-belief in the supernatural brought many of us together, our belief in the essential goodness of humanity and dedication to open discussion keeps us together and helps us grow. We have only one life and we strive to make it a good one for ourselves and for others. We are home to people with a wide range of beliefs and positions such as: humanists, atheists, agnostics, freethinkers, and Nones. That covers a lot of ground!
In addition to our Facebook group, we offer a variety of activities to support our Humanist goals and we are always looking for more ways to socialize, learn, and help others. We have a community center near downtown Mesa! Be sure to check us out at our Game nights, Sunday Speaker meetings, or other events.
To learn more, go to our website at [www.HSGP.org](http://www.hsgp.org/). There you will find more information about HSGP and our scheduled events. If you are not a member, please consider becoming a paid member. Your support keeps the building open and the activities running. If you’re not ready to commit to a membership, please join us at one of our free and open to the public events where we hope you will find like-minded individuals. Thank you and we look forward to meeting you!
About Humanism (from the American Humanist Association)
Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity.

Bystander Intervention to Support the Immigrant Community - Right To Be Training
·OnlineOnlineLet's join this free training by 'Right To Be':
Bystander Intervention to Support the Immigrant CommunityHate, harassment, and violence against immigrants is on the rise—but everyday people have the power to create safer, more inclusive communities. Right To Be’s Bystander Intervention to Support Immigrant Communities Training equips participants with the tools to safely and effectively intervene when they witness anti-immigrant hate, harassment, or discrimination.
Using Right To Be’s 5Ds of Bystander Intervention methodology—Distract, Delegate, Document, Delay, and Direct—this interactive training empowers participants to take action while prioritizing safety. Whether it’s witnessing xenophobic comments, workplace discrimination, ICE encounters, or public harassment, this training provides practical, real-world strategies to support immigrants facing harm.
Through real-life scenarios, interactive exercises, and group discussions, participants will:
- Recognize the spectrum of anti-immigrant hate and harassment and its impact on communities.
- Learn and practice the 5Ds of bystander intervention in different situations.
- Understand how to legally and safely respond to ICE encounters without putting themselves or others at risk.
- Gain confidence to stand up against discrimination in their workplaces, schools, and public spaces.
- Leave with tools, resources, and next steps to continue supporting immigrant rights.
This training is encouraged for allies, but everyone is welcome. If you are undocumented or at risk of being targeted by ICE, we recommend also attending a Know Your Rights training and engaging in safety planning.
Together, we can create a culture of safety, solidarity, and dignity for immigrant communities. Join us to become an active bystander and help build a more just world.

About Right To Be (selected from https://righttobe.org/who-we-are/):
Right To Be became a nonprofit in 2010 under the name Hollaback!. What began as a simple idea – a blog to collect stories of street harassment – became part of an international movement. We kept documenting stories, but we began to do more.We created Bystander Intervention Trainings to teach people how to stop harassment, with a set of simple and safe tactics we call the 5Ds.
We also built more platforms to offer support. For example, on our HeartMob platform, people facing online harassment can ask for exactly the kind of support they need, and get it when they need it, from vetted bystanders with the tools and resources to help.
As our work expanded, so did our mission. Right To Be grew from addressing public street harassment… to ending harassment in all its forms.

Resilience: This Moment and Beyond - Right To Be Training
·OnlineOnlineLet's join this free training by 'Right To Be':
Resilience: This Moment and BeyondRight To Be, in partnership with the NYC Commission on Gender Equity and the Mayor’s Office of Equity and Racial Justice, is hosting a virtual Resilience training. This interactive and experiential learning experience will teach you how to author your own resilience, using Right To Be’s resilience methodology: sit with what is, create your story, and be in choice.
We’ll start by talking about what resilience really is, and how it’s different (and harder) than self-care. Using guided practices, we’ll learn how to hold our pain and still find joy. We’ll explore how we’re making sense of this moment — and how that’s shaping our experience of it. And we’ll learn practices to recover quickly when we’re knocked down by the world.
