As we head into an unsettling new political era, we are hosting this dinner to honor those who are standing up for the constitutional principle of separation of religion and government and to inspire our members to do the same.
Our guest speaker will be Rachel Laser, president and CEO of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, who will discuss: “Protecting Religious Freedom & Church-State Separation in 2025 and Beyond.” We will also recognize Minnesota State Sen. John Marty for his longstanding work at the Legislature advocating for religious freedom for those of all faiths and none.
The dinner will be held at the Minnesota Humanities Center in St. Paul at 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 17, and will be attended by some of our allies in the Legislature and community. Space is limited, so get your tickets soon below!
