The weekly report on US and International policy
by Edwina Rogers
This week we have two public letters that your secular group can sign its name to! Help us protect secular education in Guatemala and Argentina.
<h2>Guatemala</h2>
Dear SPI Coalition Members:
Please join the SPI and other coalition members on a letter to the President of Guatemala and the Ambassador of Guatemala opposing a proposed bill that would allow the Guatemalan government to choose and mandate a religious education in public schools.
The Guatemalan Humanist Association (AGHS) is mounting a defense and needs our help; they have started a crowd-source funding campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-us-keep-education-secular-in-guatemala#/story
This letter will be open until Friday, August 21, if your organization wishes to be listed. We do not need the name of an individual but just the group’s name. Just send us your organization’s name to┬áedwina@secularpolicyinstitute.net
We will send a reminder in one week. You may find the letter here.
Thank you,
Edwina Rogers
<h2>Argentina</h2>
Dear SPI Coalition Members:
The National Congress of Argentina just struck a blow to Secular Education in South America by passing a law that eliminates Education Law 1420, that created secular education. Please join the SPI and other coalition members on a letter urging President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to veto this act and serve as a steward to protect secular education.
This letter will be open until Friday, August 21, if your organization wishes to be listed. We do not need the name of an individual but just the group’s name. Just send us your organization’s name to edwina@secularpolicyinstitute.net.
We will send a reminder in one week. You may find the letter here.
Thank you,
Edwina Rogers
