The Humanist Community of Central Ohio

In September we will hear from Fish Stark the American Humanist Association’s Executive Director.

"The Religious Right Is Fighting a Holy War. Here's Our Plan To Win.

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 major federal cases in Florida and Arkansas. 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 and win — in the courts, in Congress, in the culture, and in our communities."

The location for this meeting is Graystone Wine Cellar (544 South Front Street Columbus OH 43215). This meeting will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online. The formal presentation will start at noon. Soft drinks and coffee will be provided by the venue. Additionally, we will be providing catered appetizers from Blue Bow Tie Catering and so we would like an accurate count for that. We appreciate your response.
Feel free to show up at 11:30am to hang out and talk.

In this meeting, we will be hearing from professor Philip Joseph Zuckerman of Pitzer College in Claremont, California. The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.

This meeting we will be at the Columbus Metropolitan Library: Hilltop Branch
511 S Hague Ave, Columbus, OH 43204. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. You can meet us in-person or attend online.
The formal presentation will start at noon.
