Secular Social Justice Conference

SSJ: An annual gathering of secular, atheist, humanist and freethinker activists of color

In a global climate in which the criminalization and economic disenfranchisement of people of color of all genders and sexualities has become more acute, what role can secular humanism play in communities of color in the U.S.? 

Last year’s Moving Social Justice conference featured an incredible array of activists, organizers and educators from the secular and social justice communities.  Building on that momentum, the 2016 Secular Social Justice conference will be held January 30 and 31^st at Rice University in Houston, Texas.  The conference will address the lived experiences, cultural context, shared struggle and social history of secular humanist people of color and their allies.  It will focus on topics such as economic justice, women of color beyond faith, LGBTQ atheists of color, African American Humanist traditions in hip hop, racial politics and the New Atheism and more. 

Featured speakers: Frank Anderson, Donald Wright, Sikivu Hutchinson, Monica Miller, Anthony Pinn, Debbie Goddard, Daniel Myatt, Soraya Chemaly, Sincere Kirabo, Heina Dadabhoy, Secular Sistahs, Maggie Ardiente, Alix Jules and Juhem Navarro-Rivera

The conference will be sponsored by the Black Skeptics Group, Houston Black Non-Believers, the American Humanist Association, African Americans for Humanism, and the Atheist Alliance of America
