Saturday Sing-Along
Take a break after a long week and join us for a fun night of singing, music, and connecting with people from across Los Angeles. Bring an instrument if you have one, or your voice, or just bring yourself and enjoy the atmosphere!
We have no song list, so we'll take suggestions in the evening, and you are welcome to bring snacks and drinks. This is an evening of simply getting together with friendly people of all ages and enjoying a little music creation together.

Leo Igwe — Why Critical Thinking Matters in Africa
Join us for a presentation by internationally renowned Humanist activist, Leo Igwe!
Critical thinking is necessary for growth, development and enlightenment in Africa. To combat religious extremism, ignorance, and superstition-based abuses, it is important to foster these cognitive skills in African schools.
Leo Igwe‘s organization, Critical Thinking Social Empowerment Foundation, is leading efforts to promote critical thinking skills in schools.

Atheist Street Pirates 2024 Art Exhibit & Party
Calling all atheists, humanists, artists, hearties, and scallywags in greater Los Angeles!
We’re hosting a pirate-themed art exhibit and party for you and your friends!
Hosted by the Atheist Street Pirates (a project of Atheists United), the event will feature a gallery-style exhibit highlighting over 150 illegal religious signs captured by the Atheist Street Pirates, original art by local artists, and a unique silent auction. Pirate-themed attire is encouraged, but not required.
Enjoy pirate-themed waffles, mimosas (to fight scurvy), and music as we celebrate our community and its advocacy. Our event is also an Atheists United fundraiser with a goal of raising $3,000 for programs that support atheist community building and advocacy in California. Please consider a donation.

Food Distribution
On the third Friday of each month, Atheist United organizes a food distribution in partnership with the LA Food Bank and Sunday Assembly outside our office. We begin setting up right at 12pm (noon) and work straight till our last food package is handed out, usually around 5pm.
We need 15-25 volunteers to help us assemble, sort, organize, and pack over 3,000 lbs of donated food for those in need.
West LA Highway Cleanup
If you believe community service is a critical part of giving back locally we hope you join us as we clean the 405 Freeway in West LA!
We work with CalTrans to leave a cleaner, most sustainable future for everyone that lives here. Come join our efforts! Must RSVP on Meetup to attend.
