The Humanism Meetup meets monthly, usually on the first Sunday of each month. Check my channel for dates and times.

This meetup is intended for, but not limited to humanists. Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism and other supernatural beliefs, affirms our ability and responsibility to lead ethical lives of personal fulfillment that aspire to the greater good of humanity. Please join the discussion in our discord channel: #Humanism
