Lori Lipman Brown
How America’s First Non-Theist Lobbyist Has Been Received on Capitol Hill
The Reed Secular Alliance is proud to announce that Lori Lipman Brown will be speaking at Reed on March 2nd at 7:30 pm. She will give her talk in Reed College’s Vollum Lecture Hall in Portland, Oregon. Brown lobbied with the Secular Coalition for America from 2005-2009, and was the nation’s first Congressional lobbyist explicitly representing non-theistic Americans.
Lori Lipman Brown, former lobbyist and the Founding Director Emeritus of the Secular Coalition for America, reports on how this unique lobby, comprised of Atheists, Agnostics, Secular Humanists, and Freethinkers, is being received on the Hill, in the media, and by theistic church/state separation allies. She will also address how she has been received by the conservative opposition.
Brown is a lawyer, an educator, and a former Nevada State Senator. From 2005-2009 she served as the first director of the Secular Coalition for America, a 501(c) 4 umbrella organization, which lobbies for the rights of non-theists and for the secular character of our government.
