Join us in celebrating Humanism!
The Jefferson Humanists is a chapter of the American Humanist Association.
Our Vision : Free thinkers building a better community
Our Mission: to expand an ethical and life affirming humanist community devoted to science, reason, inclusion and social responsibility. Through community building, lectures, social activism, and discussion we expand our member’s awareness gain an understanding of the issues facing the world and provide learning opportunities through guest speakers on a variety of topics.

Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Discuss a Doc - Capitalism: A Love StoryLink visible for attendees
In April we invite you to watch the documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story by Michael Moore. Exactly one year and a day after the initial Wall Street bailout, Michael Moore (SICKO, FAHRENHEIT 9/11, WHO DO WE INVADE NEXT?) looks at the global financial crisis and the U.S. economy during the transition between the incoming Obama Administration and the outgoing Bush Administration. In standard Moore fashion, he mockingly draws attention to the Wall Street and Government decisions that have enabled what he calls "the biggest robbery in the history of this country."
You can find a free copy of this documentary on Kanopy at https://www.kanopy.com/en/jeffco/video/11335711 using your Jeffco Library card.
REMINDER: Watch this documentary on your own and then join our discussion on Monday, April 29th, at 7 pm.
RSVP to this Meetup or email ASC@jeffersonhumanists.org. Only those who RSVP will receive the Zoom link to for the discussion. Attendance is limited to the first 15 people who RSVP.
We hope you will join us for Discuss a Doc, a monthly discussion where we discuss the humanist issues raised by documentary films.

"Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in - democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It's not about any of those things now. It's about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed." - Michael Moore***
