Help Us Tell MA Gov. Deval Patrick & Melissa Rogers: Healing Must Be For Everyone

Please read, sign and share this petition, hosted at Groundswell:

Help Us Tell MA Gov. Deval Patrick & Melissa Rogers: Healing Must Be For Everyone

The Boston Marathon bombing was an event that effected all Americans, so there was no justification for excluding the representatives of the Harvard Humanists and the Secular Coalition for Massachusetts who asked to be included. Given that one fifth of the population is non-religious and that President Obama was there representing our secular government, there should have been a place made for the Humanist and atheist community.

I have signed the petition on behalf of the HUUmanists and encourage all of you to add your support. Read more about Help Us Tell MA Gov. Deval Patrick & Melissa Rogers: Healing Must Be For Everyone »

Congratulations, Stefan Jonasson

The HUUmanists Association is happy to congratulate one of our board members, Stefan Jonasson, for being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal by his home country of Canada.

We enjoyed Stefan's Facebook announcement when he was told he was to receive the award:

I am humbled and honoured to be able to announce that I will be presented with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal at a special ceremony in the Manitoba Legislative Building a week from today. [April 11, 2013] According to The Chancellery of Honours, "The Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal is a tangible way for Canada to honour Her Majesty for her service to this country. At the same time, it serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians." Recipients must have made "a significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region or community within Canada, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada." And then there's me.

Well done, Stefan, and we appreciate all the work you do for HUUmanists and for the UUA in your role as Director of Growth Strategies and Large Congregation Development. Read more about Congratulations, Stefan Jonasson »
