Call for Voices Program
We recognize that cisgender, straight, white voices dominate newsrooms and the media. We find this contrary to the principles of humanism and a failure to reflect the true diversity of our communities. To promote equity and adequate representation in the humanist movement and society at large, we must amplify the voices of the traditionally marginalized, particularly with regard to matters of social justice.
The intent of Call for Voices is twofold: to support the work of historically marginalized writers and writers early in their careers, and to increase the amount of content focused on social justice issues in our humanist media.
Therefore, this program especially encourages marginalized writers and writers that are early in their careers to apply.

Demonstration and protest is critical to effecting change and building community. As such, we’re offering grants to community organizers to facilitate the development of activism-related materials and supplies such as sign-making, water bottles and snacks to hand out at protests, masks to wear at demonstrations, first-aid supplies, or something altogether different.
