Next in our series of posts about new Charitocracy nominees, we have nominee Americans United for Separation of Church and State, nominated by donor jzp-charitocracy. They use litigation, lobbying and grassroots advocacy to advance the separation of religion and government. You can find their web site here.

A few words on Charitocracy

Firstly, for newcomers: here's how it works. Donors pool their monthly contributions, as little as $1. The cause with the most votes each month wins the pot. No matter how much or how little you contribute, each donor at Charitocracy gets one vote. This is where charity meets democracy. So please share this post and ask your friends to join us and vote! That's how we spread the word and, as a result, grow the monthly pot. The bigger the pot, the bigger our positive impact on the world!

About nominee Americans United

Who We Are

We are lawyers and lobbyists, students and activists, religious leaders and impassioned Americans. We are people of faith and people who don't profess any particular faith. We are a community that includes and welcomes people of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions or beliefs, sexual orientations, ages, classes and abilities.

What We Do

We use high-impact litigation, powerful lobbying and grassroots advocacy to ensure that:

• Religion does not dictate public policy.
• The government does not tell Americans what to believe or how to practice their faith.
• Discrimination is not justified under the guise of religion.​

Our Mission

Americans United for Separation of Church and State is a nonpartisan educational and advocacy organization dedicated to advancing the separation of religion and government as the only way to ensure freedom of religion, including the right to believe or not believe, for all.
