Dear Friend,

Two weeks ago the Secular Coalition for America relaunched its annual Bad Bill Madness campaign, a parody of the popular college basketball competition. Hopefully you have been following along! We started with 16 state bills from across the country that we are pretty sure are BAD for church-state separation, we put them in a bracket, and invited supporters like you to vote on which bill is the worst.

Well, your votes have been counted and we are now in the third (semi-final) round!

Voting in this round will take place for the next 48 hours. The roster features bills covering a wide range of issues including reproductive rights, religious refusal laws, the teaching of creationism in public schools, and LGBTQ+ rights. Click here to learn more.

“The campaign is an opportunity to shine a light on the attacks against our secular government that are occurring at the state level,” said Casey Brinck, Director of Policy and Government Affairs, “Our goal is to inspire activism through education. Lawmakers know that their attempts to impose religious privilege are largely unpopular and success depends on pushing these bills through quietly. The Secular Coalition for America and its supporters will not allow this to happen. The Bad Bill Madness campaign is one of the ways we’re sounding the alarm.”
