Always proceed democratically, ethically, and honestly.
Promote and exemplify the fact that Freethinkers are reasonable, thoughtful, civil, and caring people.
Increase awareness of Freethought positions.
Promote the idea that the Freethought world view of trying to understand nature through rational, scientific inquiry is the most satisfying and rewarding way to appreciate existence.
Encourage objective and nondogmatic education.
Do good works on behalf of Freethought.
Create opportunities for Freethinkers to meet formally and informally for an open exchange of ideas and for mutual support.
Provide venues for Freethinkers and their families to get together in social settings.
Establish a presence at community events.
Establish a systematic method of responding to local attacks on Freethought or free inquiry.
Lobby for the inclusion of Freethought points of view in local government policy- and decision-making.
Take a strong and consistent position against any unconstitutional mingling of government and religion and against discrimination aimed at Freethinkers.
Be willing to consider picketing or otherwise demonstrating on behalf of Freethought positions.
