Tell Congress to reject the proposal for the establishment of a "national hymn"

[link removed][UNIQID]

Dear Friend,

As a nation founded on secular principles, there is no place for a theistic “National Hymn” that is endorsed and codified by the government. Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) has recently announced ([link removed][UNIQID]) his intent to introduce legislation that would do just that.

The Secular Coalition for America acknowledges the power and relevance the song, "Lift Every Voice and Sing" ([link removed][UNIQID]) , has among the Black community and supports the sentiment of unity behind Rep. Clyburn’s initiative, but we are concerned that it is yet another instance of nontheist erasure and endorsement of religion by the government.

The Secular Coalition for America is asking you to contact your representative in Washington, and ask them to reject the proposal for a national hymn. ([link removed][UNIQID])

In lieu of another symbolic gesture that would make little material difference in the lives of the American people, congress should instead focus on real legislation that would serve the purpose of instituting real change.

With the 117th Congress underway, the Secular Coalition for America is already hard at work lobbying our representatives on the comprehensive agenda ([link removed][UNIQID]) we laid out in November. With the new administration and new congress, we are more optimistic than ever about making real progress on the issues we advocate for, but need the support of allies like yourself to make sure our important work continues unimpeded. Please consider giving to the Secular Coalition for America today! You can do so by clicking the here ([link removed][UNIQID]) or the the "I want to help" button below.

Thank you!
