FFRF Action Fund
@ffrfaction
The FFRF Action Fund was established in 2022 as a 501(c)(4) affiliate to the Freedom From Religion Foundation which has been fighting for the rights of nonbelievers and defending the constitutional principle of separation between state & church since 1978

The FFRF Action Fund joined @civilrightsorg.bsky.social and 70+ other organizations to urge the Senate to stop Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General. We must not open the door to Blanche's radical nationwide plan to gut abortion rights. #[ffrf.us/3RW8YSP
Promising to “uplift the name of Jesus Christ” as governor while claiming you’ll stay within the bounds of the Constitution is like promising to suppress free speech, abolish the Second Amendment, or deny due process while claiming you’ll uphold the Constitution.
What affects religious minorities affects us all. That's why we signed onto a letter to the Senate with 25+ other organizations to protest today's “Hidden in Plain Sight: Confronting the Muslim Brotherhood Network in America” hearing. More info ➡️ ffrf.us/4wFThye

💸 Did you know there's NO value limit on gifts for Supreme Court Justices? ⚖️ That's why today Rep. Raskin, Freethought Caucus co-chair, introduced a bill to limit gifts for Justices to $50. Congress members have had to obey this limit for decades. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/3TyLpjq

🚨 Call your senators: 202-224-3121 ☎️ As Acting AG, Blanche moved to wipe out the seditious conspiracy convictions of 12 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Convictions a jury reached, gone with the stroke of a pen. Tell your senators to to reject Blanche. #BlockBlanche #NotAboveTheLaw
