“Public dollars should always serve the public good."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 27, 2025 Contact:  Court Beyer, cbeyer@americanhumanist.org WASHINGTON – The following is a statement from...

"Gender-affirming care saves lives, period."

"Today’s decision is yet another wake-up call for secular Americans."

"Christian Nationalists failed, and the Supreme Court held the line."

"It is never appropriate for the state to use taxpayer dollars to promote one set of religious beliefs over another."

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.”
