The Freedom From Religion Foundation has launched a powerful new initiative encouraging its 42,000 members and everyday people to celebrate their rights and stand up for the separation of church and state — one simple action at a time.
The campaign, called “Freethought in Action,” invites freethinkers and other Americans to engage in daily, bite-sized actions that affirm their commitment to freedom of thought, expression and belief — or nonbelief. Whether it’s reading an independent news source, supporting secular education, or appreciating the right to live without religious coercion, the campaign highlights how small moments of reflection or action can have a lasting impact.
“We often think of activism as something that happens at protests or in the courts,” says Annie Laurie Gaylor, FFRF co-president. “But freedom is something we protect every day — in the conversations we have, the choices we make, and the rights we exercise. Freethought in Action empowers freethinkers to recognize that our voices and our values matter, even in the smallest of actions.”
The campaign includes a full year’s worth of daily prompts that range from civic engagement and education to creative expression and community support. Each action encourages participants to reflect on a series of objectives, such as the importance of secular government, the protection of individual liberties, and the celebration of freedom from religious interference.
Participants can access the full list of daily actions by visiting: https://ffrf.org/freethought-in-action/ FFRF will also share each day’s action across its social media platforms using the hashtag #FreethoughtInAction, inviting followers to take part and share how they’re engaging.
The campaign is designed to meet people where they are — no signs or speeches required, just small, thoughtful, intentional steps that add up to a broader culture of secular advocacy and awareness.
“It’s critical to remind people that their freedoms are not automatic,” adds Dan Barker, FFRF co-president. “They exist because people before us stood up — and now, it’s our turn to do the same, in ways that feel accessible and empowering.”
