Publishing and disseminating ideas has been a core task of the humanist movement since the emergence of the first books on modern humanism at the beginning of the twentieth century. In 1927, the first humanist organization, the Humanist Fellowship, was formed at the University of Chicago, resulting in the first humanist periodical, the New Humanist.
Humanist Manifesto I was published in its pages in 1933. Then in 1941 the Humanist Fellowship was reorganized into the American Humanist Association (AHA), and the Humanist magazine was launched to replace the earlier journal. The Humanist has been in continuous publication ever since.
Over the years other periodicals, and a humanist publishing house, have joined in the mission to share and debate humanist ideas.

Call for VoicesWe 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. |
