U.S. humanists & atheists: Urge Congress to reauthorize USCIRF

From the Center for Freethought Equality, the advocacy and political arm of the American Humanist Association, in an email today:

"The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), statutorily-established by the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act, is charged with examining religious freedom violations and making recommendations to the President, Secretary of State, and Congress. ... Each year, USCIRF publishes an annual report that provides designation recommendations to the State Department on how to best assess the state of religious freedom in every country. ... Congress will soon be considering whether to approve the continuation of this very important Commission. The bills (respectively H.R. 7025 / S.3764) simply reauthorize USCIRF through Fiscal Year 2026. You may read the House bill here, and the Senate bill here."

Tell your representative and your senators to reauthorize USCIRF.
