Secular Week of Action (SWoA) offers an alternative to the National Day of Prayer, a day set aside in federal law for the people of the United States to “turn to God in prayer.” A national day that calls for a specific religious practice as an expression of civic virtue rather than for a shared practice is divisive and discriminatory. Prayer it not an adequate response to national crises. Get off your knees and on your feet! Take action! Join a gang of happy humanists as we beautify our neighborhoods with a trash pick up event. We'll pick up trash along the Rio Salado Pathway from 16th Street to 24th Street while also checking out the Raptor Series of Geocaches in the area. Thanks to an amazing grant award from our pals at Foundation Beyond Belief, we have all the supplies we need to make the event a breeze! Grabbers, gloves, trash wagons, and more! WE JUST NEED YOU! WHAT'S A GEOCACHE?? There’s treasure all around us! We’ll learn about local birds while uncovering some hidden items in the wild. Learn more by visiting geocaching.com or reach out to us at Volunteer@HSGP.org. Meet at the 16th Street / Victory Street Parking Lot. Don’t forget your floppy hat and sunscreen! Secular Week of Action harnesses the secular movement’s commitment to making the world a better place by creating an opportunity to: organize service events based around shared values, connect new volunteers to impactful projects in their own towns and neighborhoods, and celebrate what human beings can achieve together when we dedicate ourselves to ethical action.
