Dear Friend,

The Secular Coalition for America is taking ACTION this week as a part of Secular Week of Action!

Every year, the secular movement comes together to create change in our local communities and provide an alternative to the National Day of Prayer (May 6, 2021). Our coalition spends a whole week organizing service projects and volunteering as individuals  — increasing the visibility of secular people and helping improve our world. 

This year, because of the dramatic increase in food insecurity and homelessness as a result of the pandemic, we’re especially encouraging groups to focus on those critical issues, but any service is encouraged. Here at the Secular Coalition for America, our staff partnered with Capital Area Food Bank located in Northeast Washington, D.C. packing emergency food bags for those in our community.

Interested in participating in your community? Here are some steps to get you started!

This year's Secular Week of Action is just a week away!

• Follow the Secular Week of Action Facebook Page for project ideas, graphics, and more!
• Visit the Secular Week of Action website to pledge individual action, see suggestions for actions you can take, and find events near you. Have an event planned? Register it on the website!
• Is your event on Facebook? Make Secular Week of Action a co-host! 
• Not sure what to do? Check out the SWOA Toolkit and watch this webinar (featuring some of our affiliates)! 

We also want to invite you to join us TOMORROW at 7pm EST for Mayday for Humanity - an evening of entertainment with a mission to help those impacted by COVID-19. Comedians Leighann Lord and Ian Harris will co-host this 3-hour event with an array of comedians, poets, and musical performers to raise funds for homeless shelters and food banks, without religious affiliation. SCA is a proud co-sponsor of Mayday For Humanity, which will no doubt be an amazing event!

Be sure to check out the event's Facebook page for updates and more information!
