Organization: Freedom From Religion Foundation
Organization Description: The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a national nonprofit organization with 40,000 members and several chapters all over the country. Our purposes are to protect the constitutional principle of separation between state and church and to educate the public on matters relating to nontheism.
The first episode of the new season of the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s TV show, “Freethought Matters,” features a prominent member of Congress dissecting a right-wing presidential takeover plan.
U.S. Representative Jared Huffman, a humanist and agnostic who is the only openly nonreligious member of Congress, represents California’s 2nd District and is co-chair of the Congressional Freethought Caucus. Huffman has announced the formation of a task force to halt Project 2025, an extremist undemocratic presidential playbook. Huffman will be unpeeling the layers of this very important subject on this episode of “Freethought Matters.” (Note: Project 2025 is intended to be implemented by the next Republican president; FFRF, which produces this show, is a nonpartisan nonprofit that takes no position on candidates.)
“It’s true that it’s 920 pages of crazy, but it’s deadly serious at the same time,” Huffman tells “Freethought Matters” co-hosts Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor. “And that’s why we are spending a lot of time right now breaking it down. We’re having deep dive subject matter briefings for members of Congress and staff because we need to make sure that Americans know what is in this thing so that they can decide for themselves whether they want to be part of a dystopic right-wing future that ends our democracy, or they want to maybe join us in trying to stop it while we still can.”
