Fighting Christian Nationalism in Minnesota

December 8, 2024 @ 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm

As marketing co-chairs of HumanistMN, Suzanne Perry and Ellie Haylund worked together last year to put up a billboard near the Minnesota state capitol that read, “Reject Christian Nationalism: Keep Religion Out of Government.” The billboard drew widespread media attention and raised people’s awareness of their organization. This effort was instrumental in expanding knowledge of humanist values in the community and significantly increased their membership.

Suzanne Perry is a Board member and co-chair of the marketing committee for HumanistsMN. An ardent advocate for separation of religion and government, she has coordinated an annual event at the Minnesota State Capitol to commemorate the National Day of Reason and worked with legislators to set up the Secular Government Caucus. She is now helping to plan a Forum on Religious Freedom in January in Minneapolis.
Ellie Haylund is an enthusiastic humanist and has been involved with her local chapter, HumanistsMN, for almost a decade. Since 2016, she has served on HumanistsMN’s board of directors, is their current president, and co-chairs the marketing committee. She is passionate about bringing widespread visibility to humanism, cultivating the next generation of humanists, and advocating for the separation of religion and government.
