Celebrating Pi Day, and Organizing Against Religious Extremism

There will be dessert and discussion on March 14 when Fish Stark, Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, will be a guest speaker at the Philadelphia Ethical Society. Join us as we stay informed, ask questions, meet friends old and new, and – because it is also Pi Day - have some pie courtesy of the Freethought Society.

Event Details: The religious right is waging the most aggressive assault on secular values in a generation — defunding public schools, pushing religion into government, and attacking empathy itself as a weakness and a sin. But the picture isn't all bleak. Efforts to force the Bible into public school classrooms are being defeated in court. The AHA just won a major federal case in Florida. The Congressional Freethought Caucus we helped start is now larger than the Freedom Caucus. And from Minneapolis to Biloxi, humanists are showing what is possible when we show up for our communities. AHA Executive Director Fish Stark will break down the threats the AHA's legal and policy teams are tracking right now, where the most serious attacks on the First Amendment are coming from, and what humanists can do to fight back — in the courts, in Congress, in the culture, and in our communities.

Freethought Society Board Member David Condo will introduce Mr. Stark.
