Hank Pellissier will speak about Humanist Global Charity. Pellissier is a writer, editor, speaker, producer, and nonprofit director long involved with humanitarian causes. He co-produced an atheist film festival in San Francisco and was The New York Times columnist of Local Intelligence. His Brighter Brains Institute built an atheist orphanage in Uganda in 2015. Pellissier stated that he finds it “appalling that people want to go to Mars but they neglect the fact that there are millions of people in the world who are starving.”
He says about his nonprofit, Humanist Global Charity., “We work toward a world with humanist values that respects science, secular education, sustainability, kindness, and democracy.” The organization provided over $100,000 in humanitarian aid in 2019 to secular humanists in India and -Sharan Africa and it offers internships in Africa Development, India Development, and Wealth Redistribution. Pellissier’s recent project, Egalitarian Planet, indicates his interest in global egalitarianism.
Pellissier’s talk on the subject of global charity is sponsored by the Humanist Society of Santa Barbara. All are welcome. Please join us on. Saturday May 15, 2021 at 3:00pm PST
