U.S. Secular Policy Guide
In December 2013 Edwina Rogers released the Secular Policy Guide for the U.S. secular movement while the Executive Director of the Secular Coalition for America. ┬áIt was open source, lacking a copyright — in fact all secular groups in the United States were┬áencouraged to adopt it and promote it at the national and state level. Take the diagrams, the sections, and get the word out! All SCA, SPI documents are the same, and Openly Secular encourages groups to repurpose their content, too. You can find the guide on the SPI website and in PDF format as well.
Please let us know if your group needs assistance with any graphics or editing.  Contact Edwina Rogers with any questions at edwina@secularpolictinstitute.org or 202 674 7800.
SPI will work with member organizations in other regions to develop policy guides that can be used by all regional groups and offered to legislators and other decision makers.  Please consider doing your part.
