Bria Needs Our Help!

You know her as an extremely active and dedicated member of the secular community. She is the founder of Minority Atheists of Michigan and Black Nonbelievers of Detroit, serves on the Boards of Black Nonbelievers, Inc. and Secular Woman, and has helped to raise money for programs including Black Skeptics First in the Family Humanist Scholarship, and Angelina’s Legacy. She is also the first to offer support of ANY kind to fellow atheists/nonbelievers, as well as anyone else in need.

Now she needs our help.

Bridgett Crutchfield (fondly known as Bria) is being sued for libel/slander by Kimberly Veal, from the Black Freethinkers and People of Color Beyond Faith networks. The suit is asking for $50,000 in restitution. Veal has made these allegations in the wake of using her public platform to malign Bria and others in the secular community.  Although we find the suit without merit, especially in light of Ms. Veal’s actions, a defense will pose a significant unplanned financial burden for one of our own. We value freedom of speech. It is a cornerstone of our movement. We support the ability to disagree, debate, and challenge without fear of retribution. Bria has obtained legal counsel, however, it is not going to be cheap and she needs our assistance. Over the past several years she has provided comfort, reassurance, and a listening ear for many new non-believers.  Now it’s our turn to give back.

Please donate to help Bria with her legal fees. Her attorney is Charles L. Mudd, who is based in Chicago.
