What we’re about
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.

Thursday Zoom coffee talk!
Note that the RSVP list usually understates the number of attendees by quite a bit. We do get a good turnout and we do have great conversations. Everybody is respectful of each other and everyone gets to talk more than enough. We are continuing to be on Zoom only for this weekly event.

Presented by Secular Student Alliance, American Atheists, and the American Humanist Association
https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/FArqwlW6RZWuZXGpQPESKA
Whether you’re at a campus encampment, marching in the streets, or just trying to assess risk in a country that criminalizes dissent-this training is for you.
Join us on May 15 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time for a timely and actionable session designed to equip activists of all backgrounds and experience levels with the tools to stay safe, legally protected, and grounded in solidarity. We’ll cover key safety tips, your rights when protesting, and how to navigate both the visible and invisible risks that come with taking action… especially for those most vulnerable in our communities.
You’ll hear from legal experts, experienced organizers, and movement leaders committed to justice and secular values. Together, we’ll help ensure that every person has what they need to show up, because showing up matters-and knowing how to protect yourself and others matters even more.
