AU Announces $20,210 Winter Fundraising Drive
The religious right has packed the courts and they're coming for your rights.
Reproductive rights
LGBT Rights
Freedom from religion
Workers’ rights
Immigration rights
Separation of church and state
and much more are at stake!
Now more than ever, our country needs a powerful, well-organized atheist movement to protect your right to refrain from religion.
Christian-nationalists, conspiracy theorists, and anti-vaxxers are EVERYWHERE trying to indoctrinate our children, spread misinformation, and take over our government. They’re funded and emboldened like never before and leaving us no other choice but to organize and fight back.
That’s why we need your help with our year-end fundraising goal.
Since we hired our first Executive Director in 2019, Atheists United has taken off like a rocketship. We’ve attracted new volunteers, members, donors, meetups, and partners… even through the pandemic.
Here are just some of our major accomplishments the past 24 months:
Provided community by hosting over 400 events
Expanded involvement by growing our meetup network over 30%
Partnered with the Secular Student Alliance and Humanist Association of Orange County to fund a new $1,000 secular student scholarship
Raised over $10,000 for California charities
Increased our community service impact with our new Atheists Volunteer initiative
Established our first-ever monthly Food Distribution in partnership with LA Food Bank
Launched FreeMubarakBala.org in partnership with Humanists International
Attracted coverage from the LA Times, NPR, Religion News Service, and ABC
Launched a sexy new website and migrated our membership program to an advanced new platform
Partnered with Southern California Secular Coalition and organized two powerful leadership retreats to help cross-train and develop strategies
And next year is shaping up to be our biggest year yet!
In 2021 we’re planning to:
Expand our scholarship program impact
Produce new video content
Publish our new Rational Alternative Magazine
Launch our new atheist podcast network
Launch our new California Recovering From Religion chapter
Launch our new Atheist Advocacy Network
Announce our new atheist after-school youth program
Host over 300 events!
Oh yeah, and if all goes well begin rolling out in-person events again!
It's time to step up our game and get organized so that we can defend ourselves from the religious right.
The Christian nationalists’ disinformation campaigns and infiltration of the government have been years in the making.
We need dynamic, diverse communities working to build a more secular society. We need Atheists United to grow and thrive.
Let's make 2021 our most impactful year yet.
