Organization Description: The Secular Student Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the only national organization dedicated to atheist, humanist, and other non-theist students. The Secular Student Alliance empowers secular students to proudly express their identity, build welcoming communities, promote secular values, and set a course for lifelong activism.
This fall, Secular Student Alliance chapters nationwide are mobilizing to educate their peers about the critical impact of Project 2025 and exposing efforts to restrict voting rights for youth and marginalized communities ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
To spread awareness about the dangers of Project 2025, SSA chapters are hosting free screenings of the documentary BAD FAITH, which highlights the growing threat of Christian Nationalism as a powerful anti-democratic force. Shockingly, 42% of young people don’t know enough about Project 2025 to form an opinion, but once they learn about it, the response is clear—they strongly oppose it.
In 2023 alone, 150 bills were introduced to restrict voting rights. To highlight this alarming reality, our students are hosting free screenings of SUPPRESSED AND SABOTAGED: The Fight to Vote, which shares personal stories of people in battleground states who face the brunt of voter suppression—older adults, students, people of color, and those with disabilities.
But our students aren’t stopping at education—they’re mobilizing. SSA members are volunteering with voter rights organizations and hosting voter registration drives to ensure their peers are ready to vote. Over 80% of SSA student members are already registered, but they’re working tirelessly to make sure everyone is informed and prepared to vote.
Because of your support, we continue to empower our students to educate about Christian Nationalism, safeguard voting rights, and protect our democracy. Your contributions ensure that these young leaders have the tools they need to inspire change on their campuses and beyond.
