Dear Friend,

One of the greatest honors I have as the Executive Director of the Secular Coalition for America is to speak with our donors about what inspires their generosity, and their passion for advancing our mission. 

Many have a personal story related to stigmatization within their families and former religious communities in addition to undeniable discrimination at school, work, and by government agencies. 

My own volunteer activism as the local director of the San Diego Coalition of Reason escalated significantly upon learning about the blatant discrimination experienced by our military at the Marine Corp Air Station in Miramar (made famous in the movie Top Gun). Pilots of significant rank were afraid to disclose their nontheism for fear of jeopardizing their careers and losing choice professional assignments.

It should be obvious by now that allies of the Religious Right and the prior administration are not about to cease their attacks on people’s fundamental freedoms in 2022. The Secular Coalition for America is fighting back, and we can’t afford to let up. That’s why these final days of the year are so critical in our efforts to prepare for every fight ahead. 

By making your year-end gift to the SCA right now, your donation will go twice as far to protect your rights, challenge abuses of “religious freedom”, and defend the rule of law.
