Who will benefit from participating?

SRF is convened by Americans United in collaboration with our partners and uniquely designed around “the 3 C’s”:

  • Collaborative: organizations are invited to join as Partners to contribute to the program and receive benefits for themselves and their members
  • Concurrent: participants will be able to attend the April Summit in person or virtually to promote radical inclusivity for all
  • Continuous: the April Summit will be boosted during the year by virtual events that respond to current events and continue community networking

SRF is designed for organizational professionals as well as everyday member activists and grassroots supporters of the cause. It's a home for policy wizards, legal maestros, academic geniuses, kick-ass organizers, and volunteer masterminds, as well as brilliant political, religious and non-religious leaders. It is a place for teaching and learning, organizing and advocacy, thought leadership and lessons learned, and bringing our community together for the fight of our lives.

Who is hosting SRF?

​Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is the convener for SRF. AU was founded 75 years ago by religious leaders and is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit educational and advocacy organization that brings together people of all religions and none, to protect the right of everyone to believe as they choose — and stop anyone from using their beliefs to harm others. We fight in the courts, legislatures, and the public square for freedom without favor and equality without exception.

The foundational principle of separation of church and state safeguards our right to live and believe as we choose. AU envisions a nation where our government does not promote any religion or spiritual belief, our laws do not allow anyone to use their religious beliefs to harm others, and where we come together as equals to build a stronger democracy.​

See you i​n April.
