Act Together for Good

Learn more about making an impact, April 26 through May 5, 2024

What is Secular Week of Action?

Secular Week of Action (SWoA) unites compassionate communities to organize service events based around shared values, connect volunteers to impactful projects in their own towns and neighborhoods or online, and celebrate what human beings can achieve together when we dedicate ourselves to ethical action. Let's support each other in building a more empathetic and just society for all.

SWoA 2024 is Friday, April 26 to Sunday, May 5!

Why Do We Need a Secular Week of Action?

SWoA celebrates the power of community and action. For ten days each year—encompassing the National Day of Reason on May 4th and the National Day of Prayer on the first Thursday of May—the secular movement rallies together to organize and join inclusive responses that address social problems and promote the welfare of humankind. SWoA puts our values of critical thinking, empathy, and responsibility to work to support each other, our environment, and our communities.

Take Action!

Here's a useful planning guide and below are some ideas for actions you can take with a group, your family and friends, or as an individual. All actions help with needed change.

  • Organize Supply Drives and Distributions

    Providing food and basic needs to unhoused and food insecure people is a direct way to have a positive impact on their health and well-being. Before inviting people to contribute, find out from the beneficiaries about their urgent needs so you collect the most useful items. Shelters are often asking for essentials like toilet paper, soap, warmth items, and menstrual hygiene products. Search for a shelter or Feeding America food bank in your area. (Supply Drive Guide link coming soon).

  • Build a Free Little Library or Pantry

    Free little libraries and pantries provide access to essential resources throughout the community. Little libraries help lower barriers to reading and also to books celebrating diverse voices. Little pantries are an easy way for neighbors to help neighbors by providing free food and hygiene supplies. (Free Little Library or Pantry Guide link coming soon). Also check out the Little Free Pantry website and the Little Free Library website for more resources.

  • Deliver Meals for Vulnerable Neighbors

    Donate to or volunteer with Meals on Wheels America or with a local mutual aid group to get nutrition to people who need it.

  • Start a Community Garden

    Community gardens help green your community, restore native plants, and produce can be donated to help address food insecurity. Our Community Garden Guide will help you get started.

  • Craft for Good

    Crafters can support people by making needed items and donating them directly or through local shelters, hospitals, senior centers, etc. Unhoused people can use sleeping mats and reusable bags any time of year. Shelters and giveaways often accept warm weather gear all year long to be prepared when the cold weather hits. See our Craft for Good Guide that includes craft ideas.

  • Create a Mutual Aid Group

    Start a neighborhood/organizational mutual aid shared Google Doc, social media group page, or Google Form for people to share their needs and how they can help.

  • Fundraise for a Shelter, Food Bank, or other organization

    Nonprofits across the country could use your donations to help them fill the holes that restricted and in-kind donations leave. Find fun ways to fundraise for your local nonprofit. (Fundraising Guide link coming soon) Search for a local shelter or Feeding America food bank.

  • Plant Trees

    Planting trees is one of the most impactful ways we can address climate change. See our Plant a Tree Guide.

  • Park or Highway Cleanup

    Cleanups are easy and popular service events for all ages. See our Park Cleanup Guide for tips.

  • Donate Blood and Advocate Against Donor Exclusions

    Blood banks need a larger supply of eligible donors, ready and willing to help. Everyone in your group can sign up to donate individually or you can organize a blood drive. Despite high demand for blood, millions of U.S. residents cannot donate due to a discriminatory policies that exclude men who have sex with men. See our Blood Drive Guide to organize a donation event and learn more about how blood donation advocacy.

  • Get Out The Vote and Advocate on Important Issues

    Help people register to vote and get ready for future elections by knowing where to go, what issues will be on their ballots, and where to look for more information. Share your knowledge on issues you care about and encourage people to sign petitions like those at Humanist Action Headquarters.

  • Host a Storytime

    Reading stories out loud is a meaningful activity appreciated by children, people with vision issues, senior citizens, and more. Gather a team to offer reading buddies or a storytime event at a school, library, hospital, nursing home, or cafe.

  • Volunteer with a Local Organization

    If you don’t have a lot of time and/or people to organize your own event, rallying your group to volunteer with a local organization is a quick and easy way to have an impact. Get in touch with a local organization and find out what their process is to do group volunteering.

  • Help Smithsonian with Resources

    Help make historical documents and biodiversity data more accessible by transcribing field notes, diaries, ledgers, logbooks, currency proof sheets, photo albums, manuscripts, and biodiversity specimens labels.

  • Support Project Implicit Research

    Help researchers learn the best ways to break down stereotypes by taking tests about attitudes, stereotypes and other hidden biases that influence perception, judgment, and action.

  • Join Online Volunteering

    Online volunteering can be done from anywhere in the world as an individual or gather your group to make it a social event. United Nations volunteers contribute directly to the work of development organizations. Through Zooniverse you can participate in online research projects of all kinds, from classifying galaxies to counting penguins to transcribing manuscripts.

Important Tips

  • Brainstorm

    Discuss activity ideas with your team to decide next steps and timelines.

  • Get Organized

    Choose an organizer who will delegate tasks and prepare for backup.

  • Stay Safe

    Keep up with the latest info from your local public health department.

  • Check your sources

    Communicate timely and accurate information from credible sources. Help counter stigma and discrimination.

  • Team up

    Consider partnering with other local groups.

  • Safeguard your money

    Have multiple people collect and record when and where money is spent or distributed.

  • Bigger Isn't Always better

    Events can still be successful with a small dedicated team. Any help makes a needed impact.

  • Report your impact

    Help us celebrate the impact we have when we all act together! When your action is done, remember to report on it so we can share SWoA's total impact.

4/28 | Existential Climate Change - Jefferson Humanists
Group Name

Jefferson Humanists

Date

04-28-2024

Time

4:00 PM MDT

Event Description

Existential Climate Change: Using science, philosophy, and psychology to comprehend the future of humankind on a warming planet by Jonathan Stickel Human-caused climate change severely threatens humanity and Earth as we know it. For several decades, the accepted approach for mitigating climate change has focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. What we need to do, climate activists claim, is to avoid using energy where we can, use existing energy more efficiently, and convert energy sources from fossil fuels to renewables. Although these conservations and technical solutions are available, for a cost, they are not being implemented nearly fast enough. Considering the potentially massive magnitude and scope of climate change, assuredly altering human life and the entire Earth in profound ways, it is worth taking a step back and looking at climate change with a broader lens. Drawing on knowledge from science, philosophy, and psychology, Stickel will examine the likely outcomes of climate change, why so little progress is being made to mitigate it, and what it means if we fail. Dr. Stickel is a Director of R&D at Carbon America, a startup company developing and deploying carbon-capture technology. He has 20+ years of national-lab and industrial experience leading and performing R&D for carbon capture, energy sustainability, biofuels, and biopharmaceuticals. He has co-authored more than 40 journal articles that report on the results of these research programs. Jonathan has a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the University of California, Davis. Also at the April Chapter meeting, HHH will support the Denver Health Departments Spring Hygiene Drive. The drive helps stock the GIVE Center, a free community resource for anyone in need. The GIVE Center serves roughly 500 people each month by providing community resource referrals or by providing necessities, like hygiene items. All the items the GIVE Center distributes come from donations - without you, we can't help our neighbors in need! Needed are: Bar Soap/Body Wash,- Shampoo/Conditioner (2-in-1 or 3-in-1), Body wipes, Tampons/Maxi Pads, Lotion, Sunscreen, Deodorant, Floss, Toilet Paper, Shaving Cream/Razors, Laundry Soap/Dish Soap, Hand Sanitizer, First Aid kits (band-aids, gauze, antiseptic).

Event Description

Time again for our semi-annual highway cleanup. This is a great opportunity to show Humanists at work in the community. We pick up trash between mile markers 38 and 39.5 on I-35W. Bags and reflective vests will be provided. Participants should bring a pair of work gloves and wear clothing and footwear suitable for working outdoors. This event will be held unless the weather is prohibitive--for instance, thunderstorms or extreme heat. A large turnout means we finish sooner and have more time to socialize, so please join us!
