Projects: Past, Present and Future

As deity-free people, we understand that this one life is the only life we’ll have, the only chance we’ll get to be a force for good. With that awareness as our guiding star, we strive to make a positive impact in our community and around the world.

Here you’ll find information about current projects, as well as past successes.

Ongoing Projects

Adopt-A-Highway
Atheists of Broward County sponsors and cares for the intersection of I-595 and University Drive in Davie. You can see our signs on University Dr., north and south of I-595.

Darwin Day
Entering its third year, our Darwin Day celebrations, held in conjunction with the Center For Inquiry have been an enormous success. Designed to promote awareness of the life and work of Charles Darwin, the annual event showcases educational activities for people of all ages. We hope to see you in 2009, an exciting year that marks both the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth, and the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of the Species.

Consitution Day
We co-sponsor this lecture series with the Center for Inquiry Community of Ft. Lauderdale, which is designed to educate the public about Constitution of the United States, the freedoms it guarantees, and the challenges those freedoms face every day.

Bill Moore Freedom Walk
45 years to deliver a letter…
On April 23, 1963, William L. Moore, an atheist civil rights activist, was killed in Alabama while attempting to bring a letter to the governor of Mississippi, promoting equal rights for all in the South. From April 28 until August 1963, almost 700 people were arrested and beaten trying to deliver Moore’s letter… it was never delivered.
On April 23, 2008, two atheist activists delivered Moore’s letter to Jackson, Mississippi.
