NOW is the Time to Fight for
Religious Freedom!
|
The Summit for Religious Freedom (SRF) is the new gathering that will unify supporters, activists, organizers, policy and legal experts, academics, political and religious leaders, and committed people of faith and of no religion to fight for religious freedom.
From full reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights, to a strong democracy and public school system, so many issues intersect with and depend on a strong separation of church and state. This ensures our nation's laws treat everyone equally and are not misused to discriminate or exclude. |
WHY CHURCH & STATE SEPARATION?
Religious Freedom Matters to Everyone
|
The separation of church and state is the shield that protects religious freedom for everyone, from the most devout believer to the committed atheist and everybody in between. It ensures that all people, whether they practice a specific religion or not, are treated equally, regardless of their beliefs.
Right now, religious extremists are expanding their efforts to force everyone else to live by their beliefs, and to use religion as a license to harm others. They and their lawmaker allies threaten our freedom to live as ourselves and believe as we choose, widening inequality in our communities and country. Now is the time to fight for strong separation between church and state, the bedrock of religious freedom. |

WHAT IS A COLLABORATIVE CONFERENCE?
This Isn't Your Average Summit
|
Securing religious freedom takes everyone, from every intersecting issue, working together in a new way. So it only make sense that we embrace a more dynamic type and way of convening -- a collaborative conference.
While led and organized by Americans United for Separation of Church and State, this collaborative conference provides all stakeholders in this fight opportunities to help shape the event: from the goals, to the sessions and everything in between! |
