If you enjoy Dawkins and all the work he does, you’ll want to donate to his Foundation for Reason and Science this holiday season. The list of projects they’re helping fund is quite impressive including…
We have made strenuous efforts to increase our worldwide presence by completely redesigning our already successful website. Our expert web team has created a website that can grow to meet the needs of what we hope will be a rising tide of atheism and secularism in the future. Our team is taking advantage of new developments in technology, as well as popular social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
We are developing parallel websites for specific populations, such as ex-Muslims, secular families, African Americans, Latinos, Women, LGBT and others. Our Spanish site will be the first of our foreign language sites to be launched. It will not only translate articles from the RDFRS website, but will host articles and discussions about issues specific to the Spanish speaking world.
They also help foster grassroots activism.
The Richard Dawkins Foundation will be working with other organizations to encourage more grassroots activism on all levels: local, state, and national. This is a monumental effort, but RDFRS US is in a unique position to facilitate increased cooperation among the various secular groups. We will offer grassroots training and help to bring in speakers and encourage other activities that will help us regain the ground that has been taken by religious radicals. We need to take back school boards, city councils, state legislatures, and finally relegate those politicians who want to take the US into a theocracy back to the pews whence they came.
Our goal is ambitious, to hold Freethought Conventions in at least 25 states by 2020. We want both major US parties to recognize that atheists and secularists are a constituency that they need to court., We are a fast growing demographic and we are not happy with how most politicians suck up to the religious radicals.
Then we have the speaking tours, which are always awesome.
But they could use a bit of support. If you’d like to make a donation (or find out what they’ve been up to this year… I’ve included just a partial list) just surf to his page.
