Thanks for being a supporter of our local state/church separation work. This newsletter will help you be more effective in your activism and provide resources, ideas, and inspiration to keep you engaged and working towards our shared goal of a secular government that treats us all as equals and that regards reason and science above religious dogma. 

Please visit our Support page for even more ways you can help and our Contact Us page to be in touch. We'd love to hear from you and we look forward to your continued support of this important work across Central Florida and beyond.
News You Can Use
Local or regional news that matters to you 

In case you missed it, Orange County Public Schools is finally reconsidering their distribution policy--mostly as a result of the efforts by The Satanic Temple to distribute literature. Their infamous coloring book and some flyers have already been submitted and are under review.

CFFC and our parent organization, FFRF, agree that the literature distributions should be stopped, but if they continue, we will also submit materials and participate.

Keep up with this and all news stories on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Something you should know about
 
Who represents you? Was it someone you voted for? Either way, reach out and say hello. Here's how you can find out who they are: Find Your Elected Officials

Seriously! Take a moment and shoot each of them an email and tell them you stand for the separation of state and church as well as policy decisions made based on reason and science. 

Tell them whatever you like, but be in touch now because next time you contact them you may be asking them to vote for or against an issue.

Help Wanted!
Want to help with our work? Here's how.
 
Can you spare a few minutes a week to monitor the first 5 minutes of your local government meeting? We have an exciting new Invocations Online project being launched soon and we can sure use your help.
