In a recent email from Nick Fish – President of American Atheist he sent this:

In case you missed it, American Atheists made headlines this week for doing what we’ve done best for more than 60 years: standing up for the constitutional rights of nonreligious Americans. 

Following reports that Texas Comptroller-elect Don Huffines planned to fire state employees he deemed not “sufficiently Christian,” our Legal Team fired back. 

[American Atheists] We put Huffines on notice, issuing a scathing letter that made clear: If he follows through on his threat to impose an illegal religious test, we stand ready to defend the workers whose rights he violates.

Kicking off the Ozarks Chapter FFRF – 2026 Summer Speaker Series – Sam Grover!!!

This weekend our chapter welcomed in Sam Grover to the area. Sam and his family got to Arkansas about a week ago and got to explore our beautiful area on their own. On Friday evening (07/17) a hand full of our most active members were invited to do a meet and greet with Sam Grover. We started at Crystal Bridges and then went to dinner to eat as a group in Bentonville. Chris and I like to introduce visiting Speakers to the museum when they come into town if time allows. Our local chapter has made a bit of a tradition of taking a group picture by We the People Art piece, when we can do so.

You might notice some of these familiar faces below from our activities at farmers markets, pride, and our monthly meetings. Join us as a more active chapter member for potential future invite for these sorts of opportunities.

This inaugural kick off to our 2026 Summer Speaker series was a real treat. On Saturday Sam Grover (and 3 of the plaintiffs – in the Stinson v. Fayetteville) were present and spoke at Bentonville Public Library. We had a bit over 20 people in attendance of this inaugural event. Sam Grover talked about the history of how courts have changed over the years – on how they are interpreting religious issues – locally and nationally. The plaintiffs spoke to what motivated them to stand up and speak out in this battle. This really shows how one person can make a big impact at a local level. Only school districts that had parents willing to stand up were enjoined in this lawsuit – against Act 573. The talk wrapped up with a Q&A. Pictured below is Chris Sweeny (Chapter President), Sam Grover, and Dr. Steven Caldwell who spoke out on this subject often.

Happy Forth of July – 250 years of Separation of Church and State

I hope you had a good 4th mine was pent with Family in Missouri. FFRF stays active and fighting the good fight.

From the recent email…

With the Fourth of July now in our rearview mirror and summer hitting full stride, the Freedom From Religion Foundation is not slowing down, despite the heat. In fact, FFRF is putting the heat on those who push a Christian nationalist agenda in the public realm. Here’s a look at some of the things your favorite state/church watchdog has been up to recently.

America 250 ad campaign

As we celebrated our nation’s 250th anniversary of its founding, FFRF launched a six-city advertising blitz that included full billboards and public transit kiosks in Chicago, Boston, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The messaging highlights the constitutional principles of secular government, individual liberty and freedom of conscience.

Additional elements of the “America 250: Lighting the Way” project included digital advertising and a full-page advertisement in The New York Times Magazine on July 5. The New York Times Magazine placement was expected to reach millions of readers nationwide, while the billboard/kiosk campaign was expected to get 4 million views.

For those interested in joining me in donating to the FFRF’s Action Fund. I went with the $17.76, but any amount helps.

If you cannot donate here is a way to keep informed to get action alerts.
