That allows us to attend, online, a session of the 83rd Annual Conference of the American Humanist Association, in which a panel of three elected officials at the federal and state level will discuss the impact of Christian nationalism on public policy, how they’re fighting back, and how AHA members can get involved and support public officials like them in their work. local level.

Jared also founded the Congressional Freethought Caucus, which he co-chairs, to promote sound public policy based on reason, science and moral values, while protecting the secular character of government and championing the value of freedom of thought worldwide.
