Exciting new items for SRF25 What can you expect at SRF? Alongside a stellar program of keynote speakers, seminars and networking events, we’re excited to introduce a few new items: Join us on Saturday, April 5, for the brand-new 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. (You can sign up during SRF registration.) You asked, and we’ve delivered an improved Hill Day! We’ll head to Capitol Hill on Monday afternoon, April 7, (instead of Tuesday) to hear from key members of Congress and their staffers as well as dropping by your elected officials’ offices to advocate for church-state separation. (Sign up during SRF registration.) You’ll get a chance to meet partner organizations at our new Expo area! Find out more about the issues that depend on inclusive religious freedom and how you can plug in! This is in addition to meeting authors at our book-signing events throughout the Summit. SRF is an excellent opportunity to collaborate with people from all over the country in the collective fight for freedom without favor and equality without exception.
