Join us for the SRF Organizing Institute, an interactive, hands-on training to build the knowledge and skills you’ll need to advocate for church-state separation in your community. This is a new program for SRF where you can learn how to effectively communicate to different audiences about church-state separation and the issues that depend on it; the basics of community outreach, including building coalition across issues and across communities of faith and nonbelievers; engaging people of all ages in person and online; and how to make a plan to organize in your community. You’ll get to hear from the experts at Americans United for Separation of Church and State as well as network, learn and share your own experience with activists from across the country.
The SRF Organizing Institute is a must for newer activists to church-state separation, but will also benefit more experienced activists who want to further develop or refresh their skills – all are welcome! Come prepared to learn and share, practice new skills, and participate in small group discussions.
Note: Exact agenda subject to change – more detailed information about the content and speakers will be released in early 2025.
SRF is committed to radical inclusion and accessibility that reflects the diversity of the movement needed to preserve church-state separation. If you need financial assistance to attend, click here to learn about our a scholarship program.
