Mission: The mission of the American Humanist Association is to be a clear, democratic voice for Humanism in the United States, to increase public awareness and acceptance of Humanism, to establish, protect and promote the position of Humanists in our society, and to develop and advance Humanist thought and action.

Programs: In addition to being vocal on issues of major concern and reaching out to media and opinion leaders, the American Humanist Association is the leader in developing the ever-evolving lifestance of Humanism. AHA gets the word out about Humanism through a variety of publications including the Humanist Magazine, Essays in the Philosophy of Humanism, and new iterations of the Humanist Manifesto. AHA is also involved in political action coalitions and promotes grassroots activism. The AHA also actively participates in litigation through the Appignani Humanist Legal Center and trains Humanist Celebrants through the Humanist Society.
