Join us for a Humanist Crafternoon! We’ll be decorating tree ornaments for the Everson Museum Festival of Trees & Light. Our tree’s theme is “Humanlight”! Ornaments and paint/paint brushes will be provided.

Join us for a book discussion around We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (and Maybe You Should Too) by Kate Cohen. The book explores the ideas around the fact that ven though a growing number of Americans don’t believe in god, many remain reluctant to say so out loud. Kate Cohen argues that not only is it rewarding for those of little faith to announce themselves, it’s crucial to our country’s future.

This book promises to be a catalyst of great discussion! Don’t worry if you’re not able to finish the book before the meeting - we always have great conversation regardless at our book discussions!

Please note the new location - Meier’s Creek Inner Harbor!

Come learn about one of our fascinating local free thought historical figures - Matilda Joslyn Gage!

Matilda Joslyn Gage is mainly known for her contributions to the women’s suffrage movement, but she also campaigned for Native American rights, abolitionism, and free thought. She is the eponym for the Matilda effect, which describes the tendency to deny women credit for scientific invention. She influenced her son-in-law L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (and another famous local historical figure!).

We’ll visit her home to learn about her social justice commitments: Haudenosaunee rights, women's rights Room, the Underground Railroad, religious freedom, as well as the Wizard of Oz and other local history.

Admission to the museum is $7 for adults, $5 for students and seniors, and free for children age 4 and under.

Best Friends Eternally. Directed by Donald James Parker. With Royce Henry, Kira Cupp, Wanda Morganstern, Donald James Parker. Tony, a devout zealot, and Jackson, an unlicensed science teacher, have been friends since they met in a Vietnam village murdering and saving people from communism. But since Jackson is a non-believer, can they stay friends after they both pass on?

REVIEWS FOR BEST FRIENDS ETERNALLY

“Somehow more unhinged than the Gramps series, Best Friends Eternally is best watched after a shot of espresso and a brandy cocktail. Donald James Parker has some pet issues that are so unexpected… it’s just jaw dropping.” - AVA BROWN

“Opens with upbeat worship music playing over Vietnam footage and somehow manages to go downhill from there.” - SCUFFED REVIEWER

“Apparently, Donald James Parker, or as we fondly know him, Gramps, knows who I am. This was a shock to me” - NAME WITHHELD FOR PRIVACY

Let's do some good for goodness' sake at Sandwich Saturday!

We'll meet at Lincoln Middle School between 9:45 and 10:00 am to make sandwiches with other volunteers from We Rise Above the Streets. Then, around 11 we'll all go to Billings Park in Syracuse to hand out sack lunches, toiletries, clothing, and other necessities to community members who could use a hand, whether they are unhoused or just having a hard time making ends meet.

If you have a CNYHA, Foundation Beyond Belief, or GoHumanity t-shirt, wear it! If you don't--we'll give you one!

We’ll meet in the parking lot of the middle school. If you arrive after 10, just come on in and look for us inside!

Come grab a beer with us!
