August Meeting: Humanism in the Age of Trump

Social Hour begins at 6 pm. Talk begins at 7 pm.
Connecticut attorney humanist activist Dan Blinn will talk about how humanism can operate in the era of President Donald Trump at the Aug. 13 general meeting in Norwalk of the Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County.

Blinn’s presentation will focus on what it means to be a humanist in America when so many of the administration's values are antithetical to humanist values; how humanists can find common ground and mutual respect when interacting with Trump supporters; and how humanists can find purpose and fulfillment in the face of Trumpism.

Blinn is a humanist organizer, activist and speaker. He is the founding president of Hartford Area Humanists and one of the founding co-chairs of the Connecticut Coalition of Reason, of which HFFC is a member organization. A graduate of the Humanist Institute, Blinn is also an attorney who handles consumer protection matters on behalf of consumers.

The event begins with a social hour at 6 p.m. at the Silver Star Diner at 210 Connecticut Ave in Norwalk. The presentation begins at 7 p.m. It is free and open to the public. All views are welcome, but participants are expected to remain civil and respectful of one another throughout the conversation.

The Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County, Connecticut, espouses Reason and Compassion, seeks to promote Humanism and free thought in our community. It holds its general meeting on the second Monday of each month, with speakers, discussion, and social time.
