This is a conversation starter about how we can address white supremacy culture in the Humanist and Ethical Culture movements so we can grow and evolve.

On June 10th, 2022, while I was inaccessible on a 10-hour flight, I was removed from my role as President of Young Humanists International and as a Board member of Humanists International. It had been just five days since I was elected democratically with 87% support from the voting body.

Unfortunately, this is a group project. And if you’re not pulling your weight, the rest of the group will not like you much.

Humanists International is, in essence, a defender of human rights and the global advocate of Humanist values. It’s the official global representative body of the humanist movement that unites a diverse body of non-religious organizations and individuals.

The Humanist network is more far-reaching than you might imagine. Even in countries where nontheist beliefs are not tolerated and, in many cases, people who hold these beliefs are persecuted.
