There are twenty organizations ([link removed]) that make up the coalition and each is a unique and integral part of the larger American secular community. The Secular Coalition for America is proud to advocate on their behalf here in our nation's capital. Read on to learn about some of the important work being one!

Secular Attorneys on SCOTUS is a free, live web-event being held on Monday, July 18 at 6pm (ET).

Markert (Legal Director) and Elizabeth Cavell, and American Humanist Association's Monica Miller (Legal Director and Senior Counsel). They will discuss the recent SCOTUS cases related to the separation of church and state, and explain what kind of impact those cases will have long-term.

Looking for ways to help? You can take action quickly and easily!

Join SCA ([link removed]) in calling for SCOTUS accountability by asking your legislators to support the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act ([link removed]) .
At a time when public confidence in the Supreme Court is at an all-time low, this piece of legislation would ensure that justices have a standard for recusal from a case in which they have a conflict, require them to disclose gifts by the same rules as Congress, and restore trust in the non-partisanship of the institution.

Our member organizations are critical partners in the Secular Coalition for America ([link removed]) 's ([link removed]) (SCA) mission to advocate for the equal rights of nonreligious Americans and defend the separation of religion and government. SCA is grateful to have the support of our member organizations, including the Freedom From Religion Foundation, American Humanist Association, American Ethical Union, Center for Inquiry, Secular Student Alliance, Black Nonbelievers, Hispanic American Freethinkers, Society for Humanistic Judaism, and Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, which are out there every day building community and proving that secular values are American values. You can make a donation ([link removed]) to help our mission succeed.
