Diversity Outreach Program

Message from Margaret Downey, Founder and President of the Freethought Society:

The Freethought Society (FS) leadership is concerned about the lack of diversity within the nontheist community. A “Diversity Outreach Committee” (DOC) has been formed to address the problem. DOC will develop an action plan that will find various ways to find like-minded individuals in the black, Hispanic, Indian and other minority communities.

There is also a need to outreach to women as surveys find that the nontheist community has fewer women actively involved than men.

Diversity Outreach Committee members are:
