Founded in 1992, the Society of Freethinkers (SOFREE) is a multicultural charitable organization rooted in humanist values and secular principles. We foster genuine fellowship among our members and affiliates, promote reason and critical thinking, uphold human rights, and support public policies that reflect fairness, equality, and the common good. 

A Note of Gratitude from SOFREE

As Humanists, we celebrate the things that make life meaningful: the kindness we extend to others, the caring and supportive community we are building together, and the love we share with family and friends. We recognize that life is often challenging, and that even amid its hardships, there is still much to appreciate: a helping hand, a shared meal, a heartfelt conversation, or the reassuring presence of someone who cares. This Thanksgiving, let us pause to cherish the wonderful people and beloved animal companions who bring joy, love, and comfort to our lives. 

We wish you all a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving weekend.
