The American Civil Liberties Union of West Virginia (ACLU-WV) has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the American Humanist Association asking a court to stop the West Virginia Water Development Authority from sending $5 million to an out-of-state Catholic organization.

While Christian Nationalists appear to have lied their way to the levers of power that will allow them to advance their radical, dangerous Project 2025 agenda, humanists are not giving up our secular democracy without a fight.

The AHA is prepared to fight this case on behalf of our plaintiffs and the First Amendment until the very end.

“We call on the Biden administration to immediately publicly support the Judiciary Act; the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act; the Judicial Ethics Enforcement Act; and the High Court Gift Ban Act to restore balance to the Court.”

“While the dangers of today’s decisions may not be as obvious to the public as say, Dobbs was, it’s important to note that it will have far-reaching implications. Congress must act to restore balance to the Supreme Court before there is nothing left for it to dismantle.”

While the Supreme Court plays politics and forces through a highly unpopular agenda aimed at controlling all pregnancy outcomes in the United States, people’s lives hang in the balance,”

The American Humanist Association is pleased with this decision and is proud to have been a part of an amicus brief in support of the Federal Drug Administration and the accessibility of Mifepristone.

“The Supreme Court must protect access to emergency abortion care. Without it, people will die. Christian nationalists have waged war on every single aspect of our lives but they fail to recognize that the majority is with us. "

“Access to abortion is a fundamental human right and an issue of chief concern for humanists. We have seen how attacks on abortion access are strongly rooted in the dangerous ideologies of Christian nationalism, and the AHA will continue to wholeheartedly defend abortion and reproductive freedom."

“The insurrection that federal officeholders inspired and emboldened on January 6th was not only an attack on free and fair elections, it was a violent attack on all of our institutions, on democracy, and on the rights of every citizen of this nation."
