CFI On Campus Student Updates!
Today, I decided that the readers at the CFI blog Freethinking needed an update on how the CFI On Campus affiliates are doing. You all work hard to organize and coordinate events, support groups, volunteering projects, and much, much more. I'm posting this information here, too, both as a thank-you to everyone for their hard work, and as inspiration for other students. I'm sure that I've missed some groups who have also put on awesome events this month. I'm sorry that I couldn't remember everyone, but if you'd like to update us on what you've been doing feel free to email us or add our email to your listserv/newsletter.
What are your plans for 2012?
Hey everyone! So things have been as busy as ever for us at CFI Transnational over the last few weeks. You may have seen the new African Amhericans for Humanism website and campaign launch, including billboards and ads all over the United States. Plus, we're still doing last-minute registrations for students who want to attend the Moving Secularism Forward conference, all while helping to sponsor ReasonFest and Darwin Week! Whew! But there is one thing I don't want you to miss.
This Week’s Good News
I don’t know if anyone else is celebrating, but the last week or so has culminated into some pretty good news for the socially progressive crowd. In case you missed it, here is my account of the news.
Indiana State Senators for Jesus, Continued
I wrote a blog post a few days ago about the Indiana State Senate panel that approved a bill to allow non-scientific origin stories in science curriculum. That was just a committee to review the bill, but when put up for a State Senate vote on Tuesday the bill passed and is now on to the House.
Interviews on the Course of Reason
Welcome to another interview on the Course of Reason! This is the second installment of my series where I interview people who are making a difference for science, reason, and secular values. Thanks for listening!
