We are a people-powered, grassroots-led organization. We believe that the power to change the world starts with our people.
American Atheists is powering the movement for the long haul.
We’re up against a well-oiled, multi-billion-dollar political and cultural machine. The White Christian Nationalist movement is organized, disciplined, and incredibly well-funded. To defeat them, we can’t rely on passion alone. We need to build power.
Building capacity means investing in the infrastructure of our movement. It means ensuring that whether a threat arises in Washington, D.C., in a state legislature, or in your local school board, there are trained advocates, on-the-ground activists, and established community groups read to fight back.
Training Leaders
Leadership is a skill, not just a title. We are building a deep bench of skilled advocates and community leaders.
With in-person summits, leadership development programs, and activist workshops, we equip leaders with the tools they need to organize their communities, navigate the media landscape, and effectively challenge religious privilege.
Fueling the Grassroots
We’re putting resources where the fight is. National change starts locally.
Through community grants and direct financial support to our affiliates, we direct urgent resources and money to the organizers and grassroots on the front lines. We ensure local activists have the funding they need to get started, do the work that’s important to them, and sustain their groups for the long run.
Sustaining the Movement
The forces of White Christian Nationalism have spent decades building their power. We have to do the same.
We are building a sustainable, resilient movement capable of weathering political storms and funding challenges. By strengthening our organizational health and expanding our membership base, we’re ensuring the secular movement is here to stay — and strong enough to win.
