We’re living through a crisis of cruelty, with an administration that threatens our neighbors’ safety, leaves kids hungry, diminishes our collective humanity, and seeks to divide us with fear and hate.

But we won’t let them win! There’s hope in each other and in ourselves. We can make the difference if we stand up and fight together for a more compassionate world.

The American Humanist Association is awarding $100,000 in grants to changemakers across the country to mobilize their communities on Saturday, May 2, 2026 and put empathy into action. We’ll supply the funds, suggest project ideas, and offer planning and promotional support. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to mobilize your community to make a difference.
