Dear Friend,
A quote from our upcoming member magazine has been helpful to me in the last few days and weeks, when things have seemed utterly overwhelming. I thought I’d share it with you.
It’s from a piece by Dr. Travis McKie-Voerste, Assistant Professor of Psychology and Director of the Secular Therapy Project. He writes:
“Navigating political turmoil without relying on supernatural reassurances empowers us to seek real, tangible solutions.”
This quote has stuck with me because it reminds us that our strength comes from an ability to see reality without the blinders of dogma. And when we combine that with an action-oriented sense of community, we are looking at a winning formula.
If you could use a nice, big boost of camaraderie and advocacy, our upcoming convention is just the ticket! Three full days’ worth of friendly, like-minded people, great talks, and workshops full of strategy and support await you in beautiful Minneapolis.
Find out more about our speakers, including prolific YouTubers Taylor Leigh (The Antibot), Drew McCoy (Genetically Modified Skeptic), and Owen Morgan (Telltale). And our international speakers include Gary McLelland of Humanists International and David Pineda of Humanists Guatemala.
Seth Andrews fans, don’t miss it: he will also be speaking at our awards dinner, so grab those tickets and a great seat.
We have a special hotel room rate of only $139 with the Minneapolis Marriott City Center; book now before our room block is sold out!
Hope to see you there!
Best regards,
Sam McGuire
Director of Grassroots Organizing and Advocacy
P.S. If you can’t join us in Minneapolis, you can still be an active part of the event by supporting our service project! With a gift of $20, $40 or more, you can feed a Minneapolis-area family. Our attendees will be packaging up shelf-stable food items and delivering them to a local food pantry. A great way to support the volunteers who spend their Easter Sunday proving that, as Madalyn Murray O’Hair famously said, “Two hands working can do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.”
