The second Reason Rally, sponsored by a coalition of secular groups, including FFRF, will take place at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on Saturday, June 4, 2016.
“At FFRF, we work hard to ensure that reason will prevail, not only in urging that reason should be employed in forming opinions about religion, but must inform our public policy, not religious dogma,” said Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor.
“We also hope to rev up the ‘I’m Secular and I Vote’ movement in an election year, to ensure that candidates are reminded that almost a quarter of the U.S. population today is nonreligious, supports secular government and opposes religious interference in our laws,” added Dan Barker, who co-directs FFRF, the nation’s largest association of atheists and agnostics with more than 23,000 members nationwide.
You may start making travel arrangements, booking hotel rooms and coordinating with other freethinkers, atheists, agnostics, skeptics, humanists and activists for four whole days of comedy, music, eating, drinking, enlightenment and activism.
Many secular activists, authors and musicians, including Richard Dawkins and James Randi, will attend. Confirmed speakers include Eugenie Scott, Paul Provenza, Cara Santa Maria and many others.
