Campaigns
The British Humanist Association campaigns for a number of causes. It campaigns for legal provision against discrimination on grounds of religious belief or sexual orientation. It has called for unification of existing anti-discrimination legislation and has contributed to the Discrimination Law Review which developed the Equality Act 2010. Many of its campaigns are based on free speech and human rights legislation and it has paid special attention to the Human Rights Act 1998. The BHA supports the international campaign to make Charles Darwin's day of birth a public holiday, Darwin Day.
In tandem with its provision of humanist ceremonies the BHA also campaigns on marriage laws, demanding full equality for same-sex and humanist marriage ceremonies.

Famous quotes containing the word campaigns:
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
