Internationally connected organization doing important advocacy work

I echo the analysis and sentiments of my former colleague whose post is titled "Ask Around." (Do yourself a favor and read that one first.) It is infuriating to see an organization with such a rich history being torn apart by inept leadership and a level of hero worship that is antithetical to its mission. There are many wonderful and dedicated people still on staff there, but one by one, there has been a brain drain within the rank and file. This is a direct result of the merger with the Richard Dawkins Foundation and the installation of Robyn Blumner as CEO. The focus immediately shifted from secular humanism to the so-called "new atheism" promoted by the likes of Dawkins and Harris. Over and over again, the organization had the opportunity to be on the right side of the arguments around civil rights, science in the interest of the public, and other topics of the day. And yet, each time, the leadership chose divisive stances that dismiss how their constituents are changing and growing. The board of directors is beholden to Dawkins, who is seen as opening doors and raising money from large donors. And the CEO is impervious to arguments in the interest of the organization's future. There is certainly a future for CFI. It will not happen under the current leadership.
