Three Headlines
If you could open your phone in 2030 and see three headlines about humanism, secularism, or the AHA, what would they be? (Ex: "U.S. Senate passes..." or "Victory for...")
Headline #1
Headline #2
Headline #3
The $100 Budget
If you had $100 to spend, how would you allocate it along these AHA priorities? Total budget allocation cannot exceed $100.
Amount remaining to spend
Local community — chapters, gatherings, real-life places to belong.
Making humanism visible — through digital content and press outreach, introducing new people to our movement
Legal fights — taking church-state violations to court, and winning.
Policy & political power — passing laws, electing humanists, building our lobbying muscle.
Chaplaincy & life's milestones — humanist celebrants and chaplains for weddings, funerals, hospitals, and grief.
Mutual aid & service — turning our values into food drives, disaster relief, and showing up.
Education & future leaders — courses, training, and growing the next generation of humanist leaders.
