Margaret Downey at Rock Beyond Belief

Margaret Downey

Freethought Society president Margaret Downey will speak at the Rock Beyond Belief event in North Carolina on Saturday, March 31, 2012. Please try to attend this free event at Fort Bragg. See:

www.rockbeyondbelief.com

Her speech will be about the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). She will talk about BSA discrimination history, disclose details about gratuities, and suggest what should be done to change BSA (or hold them to their now “private” status). A young Scout will join her on stage and his now viral video will be shown. See:

The Boy Scouts of America- legalized discrimination

 

Margaret Downey and FS have worked for many years to change the policies of the BSA and/or make sure they don’t get taxpayer funding if they insist on a policy of discrimination.  Here are numerous articles and reports detailing our efforts. If you’d like to join us in this cause, please email volunteer@ftsociety.org.
