Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Unpacking the Anti-PRIDE Backlash
Join us from FH for an HGP open discussion about the Anti-PRIDE backlash sweeping America. We’ll contrast hard-won civil rights protections for the LGBTQ+ community, from marriage equality to state-level non-discrimination laws, with today’s unprecedented wave of legislation and vitriolic rhetoric targeting transgender people and the broader LGBTQ+ community. As Portland prepares to celebrate its Pride Parade, we’ll ask: what’s driving this backlash, what does it mean, and how should humanists respond? HGP member Anand Atre will moderate the open discussion.
View DetailsThe Humanist Resistance: Advocacy, Community, and Courage in a Global Crisis
Over Zoom. Religious authoritarianism – from MAGA in the United States to the far-right movement abroad – is reshaping global politics. Around the world, human rights defenders are being silenced, jailed, or even killed for what they believe – or don't believe. The crisis is global – but so is the resistance. President of Humanists International Maggie Ardiente will map out the gravest threats to freedom of thought, share inspiring stories of progress, and deliver a roadmap for how humanists can build power and community to defend human rights.
