Speak Up for Reason!
Reason Rally 2016 is a celebration of fact-driven public policy, the value of critical thinking, and the voting power of secular Americans. The Rally will be held June 4, 2016, at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC, along with a number of ancillary events at nearby hotels. Such events include two days of lobbying (we’re scheduling visits with all 535 congressional offices!), a pre-party and after parties, a Sunday mini-conference, and several VIP events.
Showing Our Presence
The goal of Reason Rally 2016 is to showcase the presence and power of the nonreligious voting bloc, and to demand that reason be put at the forefront of our public and political discourse. We want to excite and empower attendees about that message so they bring it back home and apply it at the local and state levels.
Celebrating Secularism
Not only are we celebrating our secular, atheist, agnostic, humanist, freethinking, and nonreligious identities, we are preparing to exercise our power at the voting box to bring good sense back to government. But Reason Rally 2016 is first and foremost a celebration — we’ll have awesome speakers, bands, entertainment, and political leaders — all there to celebrate and support the secular community.
It’s important for us as a community to just come together, be among like-minded folks, and celebrate who we are and what we’ve accomplished. We’re calling it a “voting bloc party” because we want to capture that feeling of community and celebration alongside the strong message of growing political influence.
Stand up for reason and make our presence felt. We hope to see you at the Rally.

There are too many speakers to name them all, but "Q" from Star Trek will be speaking! (he might not be a god, but he played one on TV)

Barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be attending the main rally on Saturday, as well as the VIP Cocktail Reception (they had me at open bar)
If I see any of you at the Reception, I'll buy you a beer
