Urge Your Senator to Co-Sponsor Darwin Day Resolution Now

Today is historic! The Secular Coalition for America is proud to announce that for the first time, a Darwin Day Resolution has been introduced in the Senate. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) introduced S Res 66 today. Among other things, this resolution:
States that evolution “provides humanity with a logical and intellectually compelling explanation for the diversity of life on Earth”
Demands that the “advancement of science be protected from those unconcerned with the adverse impacts of global warming and climate change”
Confirms that the “teaching of creationism in some public schools compromises the scientific and academic integrity of the United States’ education systems”
With recent studies showing a growing disconnect between scientists and the public, increasing and promoting scientific literacy is a critical priority. Please write to your senators today and urge them to sign on to S Res 66 today and affirm their commitment to science and scientific knowledge.
Take Action!
