[+/-] SCOTUS rally on March 2nd
Supporters of church-state separation are planning a major rally in front of the US Supreme Court on Wednesday, March, 2, 2005 -- the day the Court hears oral arguments in two cases regarding government-sponsored displays of the Ten Commandments (McCreary County vs. ACLU of Kentucky, and Van Orden vs. Perry).
The organizers of this event -- an informal coalition of freethought groups and others wishing to preserve our important constitutional protections -- stress the importance of this public affirmation of our core ideals, and hope people will turn out in force as a demonstration of our strength and unity. The rally will begin at 8:30 a.m., and participants are urged to arrive early to claim visible positions before the throngs of theocrats do so. Although no formal agenda is planned for this event, notable advocates of church-state separation are expected to address those in attendance.
Additional information and contact information will be available on the Web sites of the American Humanist Association and the Washington Area Secular Humanists.
