American Atheists President Nick Fish: State by State, Community by Community
Nick Fish is the President of American Atheists. With more than 15 years experience fighting for civil rights, civil liberties, and religious equality, Nick is a committed coalition builder and advocate who works to ensure that atheists and nonreligious people have their voices heard. As president of American Atheists, Nick works to combat stigma, bias, and discrimination, and promote understanding of atheists, humanists, and non-religious people of any label.
Nick will be speaking about the fight to protect our rights from White Christian Nationalists. Attacks on equality aren't going to be won just by focusing on courtrooms battles or legislation in Washington, DC. Organizing in local communities, advocating in state legislatures, and getting involved in the political process are they ways we move forward.
A native of Michigan, Nick studied political science at Albion College before working in Raleigh, North Carolina, managing a voter outreach office that registered more than 5,000 voters and knocked on 25,000 doors in the two months leading up to the 2008 election. Nick has served as President of American Atheists since 2018.
