Hello Everyone!
It is that time where we recap the first half of the year, and ask for your support to continue our work.
If we missed you at the Ark Encounter protest on July 6th, no worries, you can watch the entire livestream courtesy of The Daily Atheist Morning Show. You can watch my speech specifically here.
We are still working towards our modest $5,000 midyear goal, and we appreciate everyone who has supported so far. As a reminder, midyear contributions are just as important as the end of the year donations, and they fund our very important operations and community outreach.
Here are some of our 2025 achievements:
– Launched our official membership platform, which features discounts on merchandise and annual events.
– Tackled the problems with voter suppression, in collaboration with the Center for Freethought Equality and the Secular Coalition for America.
– Represented BN at the 2025 Summit for Religious Freedom, AHACon, and the aforementioned Ark Encounter Protest.
– Endorsed House Resolution 376, declaring the National Day of Reason, along with our coalition partners.
– Stood (and are still standing) in solidarity with fellow nonprofit organizations who may be at risk with the Trump Administration.
– Hosted our first ever Revival of Reason and Secular Juneteenth celebration. Videos will be available soon.
This weekend, we will be tabling at the Secular Student Alliance conference in Cincinnati, OH, and the following weekend at NaNoCon in Nashville, TN. Also, we are once again cosponsoring the Hurston student scholarship for Black nonreligious student activists. Be sure to apply and spread the word by July 31st.
As always, we appreciate ALL support received. Please help us EXCEED our summer/midyear goal for our continued work.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Mandisa L. Thomas
