Make a Difference
Get involved and make a difference. Humanism does exactly that.
You can make a difference, regardless of your age and/or physical condition. We can bring people-power into play by becoming active citizens, by reading/viewing different media outlets and by connecting with others. The planet needs active citizens more than ever. The internet is a powerful tool and we can use it to make the changes we seek - but these changes require education and coordination, so educate yourselves if you have the energy and time. The world needs us to pay attention. There are also other ways: volunteering via the choice of activity that local area/regional hubs offer; advocacy via your openly recommending one or more of the variety of structured groups which pursue the common good; activism via your formal engagement with a cause that you hold dear.
We can no longer wait for change to happen, we must make it happen.
Humanism must prove itself worthy of its place in modern society. We must not be a benign group that sits on its hands and allows inequality and prejudice to happen. Humanists everywhere can inspire people to consider all aspects of life in a balanced and open-minded way - and yet we can be strong and direct about important issues. We must not be afraid to speak out or start a conversation. If you feel strongly about something - and we truly hope you do - become a voice for change. Humanists don’t have churches but we do have the internet.
Join in and share your cause with us!
Scotland has the capability to improve the quality of people’s lives through campaigns and legislation. Scotland’s people have never had their voices heard this way before. Our Scottish parliament represents us. Devolution has given Scotland’s people the opportunity to make changes that truly affect our lives and this must continue. Whether as part of the UK or as an independent nation, Scotland must continue to grow in confidence and competence. When we act, Scots tend to lead the way. Regardless of our different beliefs, we can make progressive change when we work together.
We must encourage our confidence to grow in as many ways as possible.
Humanism in Scotland engages with a large worldwide network of like-minded organisations and individuals, across both national and international domains. We will continue to follow, engage with and share campaigns that affect us all. We hope to inspire others to become involved. Maybe one day we will have a physical meeting place and I for one would love to see you there. Warning: there will probably be singing involved… I am a great believer in the power of communal song.

THE WONDERFUL SOUNDHOUSE CHOIR, EDINBURGH
Stephen McLaren, Chairperson, Humanism in Scotland 2023
Colin Macfarlane, Director of Stonewall Scotland and Northern Ireland said in October 2022:
“The mandate of the Scottish Government and the majority of political parties in the Scottish Government to reform the Gender Recognition Act is overwhelming. The proposed reforms are one of the most consulted on in the Scottish Parliament’s history. In May this year, the Scottish Parliament’s Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee undertook ten weeks of detailed evidence on the proposals hearing from a wide range of witnesses both in favour and opposed to the reforms. Later this month MSPs will begin debating the proposed Bill.
While we welcome the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s call for the Scottish and UK Governments to work together to implement this legislation, we believe that this intervention from the Commission only continues to undermine their credibility in Scotland on this matter. Up until February this year, the Commission were supportive of the proposals and they have so far failed to provide any evidence to back up their new found opposition to moving to a de-medicalised model for legal recognition in line with international best practice as proposed by the Scottish Government.
Issues of cross border recognition of Gender Recognition Certificate changes would not be difficult to navigate given that the UK already recognises equivalent certificates from all EU/EEA countries, including by countries which have a de-medicalised model of legal gender recognition. These birth certificates are automatically recognised in England and Wales. The Commission has failed to provide any credible evidence as to why Scotland would be an outlier if these reforms are passed.’’
STONEWALL STATEMENT - JANUARY 2023:
Ending reciprocal recognition of Gender Recognition Certificates (GRCs) from countries that support trans people changing their legal gender using a self-determination model is a disgraceful low for the UK Government’s approach to LGBTQ+ rights.
This comes as the UK Government considers challenging the Scottish Government’s mandate to implement the Gender Recognition Reform (GRR) Bill - a bill that was passed with overwhelming cross-party support from MSPs in December 2022.
Trans people from countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand have had their gender recognition certificates respected by the UK for years. Seeking to end this system is an extraordinary move, not based on evidence or experience, that will effectively serve as a ‘trans travel ban’.
Ending recognition of GRCs from as many as fourteen countries who are our close allies and seeking to block implementation of the Scottish GRR Bill have significant consequences for trans people who are directly affected. But this also sends a message that the UK Government sees trans people as a threat to be contained, not citizens to be respected.
These moves cut against the inclusive values that characterise modern Britain and will actively harm the UK’s international reputation as an open, diverse and dynamic society - one of the reasons why global corporations that proudly support LGBTQ+ rights are attracted to doing business in the UK. They will have significant political consequences in the UK and internationally.

The term ‘armchair activists’ tends to be used in a dismissive way, implying that people who campaign through social media are not doing anything that has significance for impact in the real world. This fails to acknowledge the potential for many people who, perhaps because of health, mobility issues or caring responsibilities, are unable to take part in things outside their home. The truth is that they have as much to contribute as anyone else. Advances in technology now allow people, without leaving or venturing far from home, to do things that make a real difference – even to saving lives.

The NHS is a central institution in Scottish society. It guarantees in its principles, equal access for all of our citizens, from the cradle to the grave. Healthcare and how it is delivered and to whom it is targeted matters to humanists in Scotland, which is why we support the notions of patient focus and public involvement in the NHS.
Our criteria for a healthy NHS that will safeguard public ownership of its hospitals and its facilities are not rigid or impervious to change. In fact we champion change when it clearly benefits NHS stakeholders. Humanists in Scotland welcome many of those measures coming from the Government which are aimed at essential improvements in the delivery of healthcare. Our guiding imperative is that continuous improvement in the health service is matched step by step with an equity obligation to reduce inequalities in patient provision throughout our hospitals and clinics.
The moral case for the continued existence of a protected NHS in Scotland derives its strength from the basic humanist premise of distributive justice, which is a cornerstone of biomedical ethics. Fairly distributing benefits, risks and costs are a humanist norm of obligation. The concept of vulnerability is one of these categories. In any weakened condition, a patient is at risk of harm, indignity or loss of their human rights. The consequent discrimination against the sick and disabled within the healthcare system comes about when patients, and especially the elderly, are marginalised because the system is underfunded, understaffed or used solely as a source of profit. Humanists will always speak out against these injustices.
One way to promote a meaningful defence of the NHS is by getting involved in volunteering. Some humanists in Scotland have become active in spiritual care provision, meeting with patients as part of the chaplaincy outreach in hospitals. Here is one example of a practice that offers spiritual care, irrespective of faith, creed, belief or no belief, all such as secular voices prepared to help with emotional support to the patient, whatever their religion or mindset. We encourage humanist helpers with materials and the valued experience that some of us at Humanism in Scotland can put at your disposal.

This is why the climate crisis is ultimately a human issue – because our health, our livelihoods, and our homes are directly impacted by the changes happening in our environment.
So, what do hurricanes Harvey and Irma have to do with climate change?
The climate crisis intensifies the impact of hurricanes. Here’s how:
1. By adding fuel to the fire, climate change makes hurricanes more devastating. As sea surface temperatures become warmer because of climate change, hurricanes can become more powerful and cause more damage and loss of life.
2. Climate change is linked to extreme rainfall (and therefore, flooding). As the world becomes warmer, more water evaporates from oceans (and other water bodies) into the air. Hurricanes tap into this moisture-enriched atmosphere and are capable of producing heavier precipitation, and this can result in more flooding when the hurricane approaches land.
3. Sea-level rise caused by climate change can greatly increase the storm surge from hurricanes. With higher sea levels, storm surges are able to move further inland and can lead to more widespread and greater damage than they otherwise might.

Dramatic changes to our planet like glaciers calving into the sea and record-setting temperatures make front page headlines around the world. But while other disruptions caused by the climate crisis – such as the transformation of our planet’s water cycle – are a little less immediately striking, they can be even more profound and far-reaching.
The consequences can also seem confusing and contradictory. How is it even possible that climate change increases our risk of both heavy rains and extreme droughts?

It is widely accepted amongst scientists in the realm of climate and related natural extreme weather events, of the inconvenient truth that the already existing 400+ppm C02 is locked into the atmosphere for 100’s of years. Of concern alongside that, is the seeming denial that business as usual - the burning of fossil fuels - is ok for investment by penion funds etc . .
The reality is that at that level of CO2, climate chaos is unstoppable and we are therefore on the road to the tipping point ‘a la planet Venus’ scenario As always Ron

Subject: Fao SIR WILLIAM CASTELL - CHAIR - WELLCOME TRUST
Dear Sir William,
Whilst recognising the undisputed extent of your organisations’ humanitarian outreach, we are dismayed by its continued investment portfolio in support of fossil fuel extraction. Although it is well accepted that limiting our world temperature to a +2C degree rise is that which allows our planet to continue in sustaining humankind, at the current level of 400+ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere, we are on track within a generation for some +4C degrees rise, which, left unchecked, will cause a level of devastation which is frankly, unimaginable.
We call on you to join with others, the growing adoption of divestment policy, for the common good of humanity and our interdependence on all that we hold dear.
Yours Sincerely
Ron McLaren Chair Humanism in Scotland

Weekly philosophy sessions in class can boost primary school pupils' ability in maths and literacy, a study says. More than 3,000 nine and 10-year-olds in 48 UK schools took part in hour-long sessions aimed at raising their ability to question, reason and form arguments.
A study for the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) found pupils' ability in reading and maths scores improved by an average of two months over a year.
For disadvantaged children, the study found writing skills were also boosted.
The trial of the Philosophy for Children programme (P4C) focused on children in Years 4 and 5 - aged nine and 10.
It was part of efforts by the charity, EEF, to evaluate ways in which schools are spending pupil premium money beneficially on children from poorer backgrounds.
The disadvantaged pupils in the trial, those on free school meals, saw their reading skills improve by four months, their maths by three months and their writing ability by two months.
SNAP Scotland's National Action Plan for Human Rights. This is a road map for activating children's rights. By raising awareness and understanding of rights in health, social care, housing, justice, living standards and safety, we help to focus on the role of children as victims of social and political, as well as economic injustice and discrimination.
A rights-based analysis of budget decisions in which we disaggregate for the impact on children would help to prevent outcomes like the negative impact of welfare cuts on child poverty. Humanists in Scotland must get behind the work of the Scottish Human Rights Commission in particular to tackle the problem of human rights for children.

SCOTLAND'S ECONOMY - IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS
Weeks of bad news show the uncontrolled free-market approach to Britain's economy is failing. But top-down control of the economy didn't work well either. So is that it? Common Weal says 'not in Scotland'. It has published a landmark report outlining how we create a different kind of industrial strategy for Scotland. It's time we did things different – and this is how.
Common Weal is a 'think and do tank' campaigning for social and economic equality in Scotland.
We are a think tank, a campaigning and advocacy organisation, a news service, a social media hub, a network of local groups and more. We are also a philosophy of a different kind of Scotland and how we can achieve it.
Our goal is to achieve a Scotland of social and economic equality and environmental sustainability with a vibrant community and cultural life, widespread democratic participation, a high quality of life and cooperative working. We believe there are a series of key ideas which can explain how we achieve that kind of Scotland. These are all linked to a vision of what a better Scotland could be.
Common Weal is a non-profit company with a Board drawn from Scotland's leading activists and campaigners. It emerged during the Scottish independence referendum campaign and began operating as an independent organisation in October 2014.
We have a team of 13 staff who are divided into four units. The Policy Unit develops carefully thought-through policy proposals, carries our research, engages a wide community in policy discussions and seeks to make policy engaging and easy to understand. The Parliament and Campaigns Unit then campaigns in the Scottish Parliament and beyond to make those policies happen. The Common Weal Local team support and coordinate a series of local Common Weal groups. Each is autonomous and pursues its own priorities but all share the Common Weal philosophy and seek to make it a reality in their own communities. And CommonSpace is a news service and social media hub which seeks to bring people together, help them to organise and provide them with the news they want to read.
Common Weal is entirely funded through lots of small regular donations from our supporters, and from some merchandising and events income. Every penny is used to support all the activities above, overwhelmingly by enabling us to employ our staff.
