Tom Manger (the Legislative Chair for the Secular Coalition for California (SCCA), http://states.secular.org/states/california) will speak on secular activism in California, with some discussion of national secular activism (e.g., his work with SecularityUSA, http://www.secularityusa.org). Tom will give a wrap up of 2014 California legislation from a secular perspective. He will also talk about activities planned for 2015 and ways you can assist in not just enforcing the separation of church and state, but in reversing the many ways that religion is unduly privileged in existing laws.

Laurel McClure (a California Clean Money Campaign volunteer) will discuss the California DISCLOSE Act (S.B. 52), which would require that political ads for local and state candidates, and state propositions, would have to very clearly identify the people, corporations, unions, and/or other organizations that actually contributed the most money for the political ad. S.B. 52 needs to be approved by a 2/3rds majority in the State Assembly this summer (and then be signed by Gov. Brown). So come hear about this very important bill, and how you can help out.

The number of non-believers is increasing rapidly. Like all social movements, the laws that represent us lag behind our wishes. However, that is now set to change rapidly as well. Tom Manger will present an update about secular activism in California and nationwide. Mr. Manger is the Legislative Chair for the Secular Coalition for California (http://states.secular.org/states/california), and chair of the Volunteer Management Committee for SecularityUSA (http://www.secularityusa.org).
