Humanist magazine photo contest winners
The Humanist magazine photo contest was a success! Readers took us with them to places near and far (and hopefully left some copies behind for unwitting humanists to peruse). Featured here are the first and second place winners, as well as an honorable mention. We’ll announce another contest soon, so be sure to take the Humanist with you when you travel, and bon voyage!

The National Day of Reason website has undergone some major improvements and is now better than ever!
Visit the site to add your local NDoR event to the calendar, sign a petition to President Obama asking him to issue a NDoR proclamation, and find out more about the National Day of Reason!

Sarah: There isn't an official discussion thread hosted by the Humanist Institute as of yet, but they are planning on instituting one. So, your suggestion to start one would be the only option at the moment.

The Equal Rights Amendment Finally Arrivesby Roy Speckhardt
Executive Director, American Humanist AssociationToday's political climate makes it abundantly clear that American women need to have their rights and freedoms permanently protected through an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. New laws and regulations being pushed by the Religious Right are an open violation of every woman's basic dignity by forcing them into a position where they can be legally mistreated.
Several bills were recently introduced by religious political extremists in Congress to restrict women's access to necessary health services, such as the one introduced by Senator Roy Blunt which would have exempted employers from providing contraceptive care to their employees for religious reasons. While Sen. Blunt was unsuccessful, additional legislation would defund reproductive health services and elevate the rights of a fetus over that of a woman. And in Wisconsin several bills were just passed that repealed the state's 2009 Equal Pay Enforcement Act and degraded health services for women. Members of the Religious Right have cheered at these and other measures which are predicated on an assumption that women are inferior.

Brian: Thanks for that link. This looks interesting! Anyone else going to work through the classes? Maybe we could start a discussion thread for folks doing them?
