Today is the first day of Spring. And while Humanists don't attach supernatural significance to the position of the Earth relative to the sun, it is a good chance to look forward at the coming year.
So I want to ask you: What are you optimistic about? Email me (or answer by tagging us on social media).
Reason, compassion & hope are the cores of #Humanism. So what gives you #hope on the first day of #Spring? pic.twitter.com/K4pmr8HNrs

This last year gave us a lot of reasons to be pessimistic but a big part of Humanism is the belief that the arrow will always swing back to progress (even if we have to continually nudge it along).
If we receive enough answers I'll consolidate them into a blog for you for next week.

Our first blood drive of 2017 will be on Saturday, April 15 at 10:00 AM. Please let us know if you want to reserve one of our donation spots as space is limited.

Blog: Recognize implicit bias or it will undermine egalitarianism
