Dear Friends, We are committed to ensuring our public schools are a safe, respectful environment for all students. Sometimes, we let the religious right steal the spotlight at school boards with stunt politics, and forget that the majority of school board members are diligently upholding schools’ integrity—sometimes amid unprecedented pressures. Let’s make sure these unsung heroes know we appreciate this. Their work—currently under attack by Christian nationalists—is not always sensational, but is at the bedrock of our society. We call upon our community to take action by writing messages of support to their school board members, expressing your concerns, and advocating for policies that protect the rights and dignity of all students. Recent events have demonstrated the urgent need for comprehensive non-discrimination policies and supportive resources that promote understanding and acceptance. By sharing personal stories, experiences, and encouragement with board members, we affirm that Arizonans overwhelmingly support separation of church and state at schools! Find board member contact info by looking up your district's website in a search engine. Let us know if you need help! Sincerely, Secular AZ |
