[Vision2020] Billboards

[donald edwards]

Check out these "Godless" billboards from artist Ron English.  You can see more about him and how these are created (hijacked) on the documentary "Popaganda".  The abortion one uses an actual living naked woman up on the catwalk infront of the wirehanger.

> Godless Billboard comes to the Moscow/Pullman Area
> 
> March 13, 2009
> 
> This spring the American Humanist Association (AHA) will announce an
> atheist/agnostic billboard to go up on Highway 95 just south of Moscow. The
> billboard will beckon nontheistic people by reminding them they aren't
> alone. It will also offer a Web site and toll-free number that will provide
> the public with further information about atheism, freethought, humanism,
> and Ethical Culture.
> 
> Who: 
> -Roy Speckhardt, the executive director of the American Humanist Association
> in Washington, DC, will provide context for the Moscow/Pullman billboard
> effort and similar ones across the country. 
> - Maggie Ardiente, director of development of the American Humanist
> Association, will talk about the mission of the AHA and highlight its recent
> activities (legal, education, advocacy) to promote humanism in the United
> States.
> 
> Where: 1912 Center, Fiske Room, 412 East Third Street, Moscow, ID 83843
> Located between Adams & Van Buren
> Just three blocks up from downtown on Third Street, across from Moscow High
> School Square
> 
> When: March 24, 10:00 am
> 
> Why: Nontheists--atheists, agnostics, and others who subscribe to no
> religion--may feel they have no voice in a time when traditional religions
> dominate the public discourse. They may also feel alone--that they're shut
> out of their communities and vilified simply because they don't believe in a
> god. But now they have a place to turn. This spring, come learn more about
> people who don't believe in a god and why such a pointed billboard is needed
> to change the public's perception of the godless.

> Humanism is a progressive philosophy of life that, without theism, affirms
