American Humanist advertisements
I’ve seen ads from the American Humanist Association in several left-wing/progressive magazines, such as The American Prospect and The Progressive. The two ads I’ve seen to date are very well done: positive, articulate, and succinct. Here are some excerpts:
The religious right like to talk about family values, but their so-called values are a threat to our families. We don’t want our children to grow up in a society where intolerance, greed, and anti-intellectualism are considered virtues. It’s time to stand up for progressive family values – values such as tolerance, compassion, and education(“Children are our future: Are we pointing them in the right direction?”)
Despite all the rhetoric from the religious right, we all know that Progressives have values. Our commitment to human rights, civil liberties, religious freedom, and a society centered on reason and compassion are principles on which we should never compromise.(“Values for today. Values for life.”)
I’ve never been eager to see the next ad in a campaign before, but I am now.
Keep up the good work!
