Day of Reason Rally

We are continuing Day of Reason activities with our annual rally at the capitol! Minnesota Atheists has the rotunda reserved for a public rally for Reason! Our theme this year is “Follow the Science” and we will have a series of speakers speaking on the theme.

SCHEDULE
Please note that speakers are scheduled with extra time between them. Legislators arrive when they can based on the day’s work, and this schedule leaves additional time to fit them in.
