Americans United for Separation of Church and State - Social Action Fundraiser for July
This month we have decided to raise funds for a social action partner organization in memory of Charles Sumner, dedicated to GNUUC social action for decades. The natural choice is the Nashville Chapter of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, an organization Charles founded, where he was honored as president emeritus. All funds raised will go to AU.
