American Humanist Association Information

Strategically located in Washington, DC, the American Humanist Association actively educates the public about Humanism, brings Humanists together for mutual support and action, defends the civil liberties and constitutional freedoms of Humanists—indeed of all peoples—and leads both local and national Humanist organizations toward progressive societal change. Through a strong network of over 237 grassroots organizations, appearances in national media, an advanced Internet presence, regular public appearances, and a broad spectrum of publications, the AHA is the VOICE OF HUMANISM. Over the years, many women and men who embrace Humanism and who have worked closely with the AHA have contributed greatly toward the betterment of our world, including Kurt Vonnegut, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Margaret Atwood, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Steven Pinker, Ted Turner, Richard Dawkins, E.O. Wilson, and Joyce Carol Oates.
