Human Rights Day matters to humanists because dignity, safety, and freedom are not optional. We show up for people pushed to the margins and work to make those rights real for everyone.

Our ugly sweater doesn’t pretend. If the season brings book bans, forced piety, hate wrapped in scripture, and yes, golf, we might as well wear the truth. Soft inside, loud enough to annoy the right people outside. Available now: store.americanhumanist.org

People are looking for belonging and meaning beyond the old institutions. Humanism becomes a home when we live our values and show what community can be. And we grow by building something worth joining. americanhumanist.org/join

“It’s less that I feel I’m recovering from religion as recovering from grief at losing mine.” 💔 Healing from faith changes can feel like grief. You’re not alone. 🎥 Watch It’s Okay (to Let Go) → https://youtu.be/rYR1MAak5XA 💚 Talk with us → recoveringfromreligion.org

When healthcare becomes unaffordable, people don’t just “struggle”, they get pushed out of coverage entirely. That’s the real cost of inaction. Humanists refuse to look away from harm when it’s preventable. Tell Congress to protect these subsidies. americanhumanist.org/health

Fear of difference is small. And the world is huge. Diversity makes our communities smarter, richer in culture, and more resilient. It's what America was built on, and it will be our future. As humanists, we choose curiosity over isolation.
