As of the recent AEU Assembly, the American Ethical Union is now a member of the Secular Coalition for America, the Washington, DC, based lobbying organization whose mission includes "increas[ing] the visibility and respectability of nontheistic viewpoints in the United States". (The AEU is the national umbrella organization for all Ethical Culture Societies.) As reported earlier in this blog, the SCA counts among its Directors some of the most prominent "new atheists", including Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, as well as author Salman Rushdie.
Lori Lipman Brown, the SCA's fulltime lobbyist, is coming to New York City for a meet-and-greet titled “A Skeptic Goes to Washington”, hosted by the NYC Skeptics. The event is free and open to the public. Show your support for the importance of nontheist issues on the national scene by attending. Then report your impressions as comments to this blog post. Your freedom is important!
