    Secular Advocacy Update

    October 22, 2025  8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
    Online via Zoom

    The polit­i­cal sit­u­a­tion in this coun­try is in flux and peo­ple might not know where to put their ener­gy since there is so much going on. SHoWLE President Doug Berger will host a zoom call about what you can do in these try­ing times. He will focus on church and state issues such as more anti-abortion actions in the state leg­is­la­ture, the con­tin­ued dis­rup­tion of pub­lic schools from vouch­ers and Lifewise, chal­lenges in the Toledo area, and nation­al con­cerns like the recent anti-atheist NSPM‑7 memo that President Trump issued.

    This call will be open to any­one who wants to sup­port real reli­gious free­dom and civ­il rights.

    To reg­is­ter for the call click the link https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tBDZzv6iTfWxRk2CHgzMIQ
