Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry

Protest with SHL! ✊ in front of City Hall at 2 pm on Sunday, November 9th.

Join us as we stand up for First Amendment freedoms—including the separation of church and state, press freedom, and freedom of speech and assembly.

📢 Bring a sign if you’d like (we’ll have extras on hand if you don’t).

To comply with Charleston’s restrictive protest ordinance, we’re capping this action at 24 participants. When you RSVP please also email Bonnie Cleaveland (activism@lowcountryhumanists.org) with your phone and email so we can confirm your spot.

👉 Why the cap? The City of Charleston requires a permit for protests with more than 24 people and has been forcing permitted groups into out-of-the-way locations like Hampton Park. To make our voices heard in well-trafficked downtown spaces, we’re joining Silence Is Not an Option's (SINO) effort to hold pop-up protests every 2nd Sunday of the month, each in small groups of 24 or fewer.

Come make your voice heard!

Crafting isn’t just for church ladies! Join the inaugural SHL Maker/Crafter get-together, the SHL Makers Studio. Hosted by Ann H. in her home, our first meeting is a BYO-project, BYO-beverage, “stitch-n-bitch” kind of affair. We will have materials on hand if you don’t have a project to bring. Come for conversation and inspiration.

In 2026 we may decide to explore Craftivism, establish a service or fundraising project, host a repair cafe, and more. Come be part of the conversation.
