York Humanists brings non-religious people together to be happier and more fulfilled and to be a force for good in our community.
Humanists are people who shape their own lives in the here and now, because we believe it’s the only life we have. We make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, and respect.

11 June 2025, 19:00
Friargate Meeting House, Friargate, York, YO1 9RL
Protest has long been a core part of the democratic ideal. Yet, many people are worried by recent changes to the law in England and Wales and the prosecution of environmental campaigners and others. In his presentation, Professor Colin Tyler looks at restrictions that are gradually being placed on our right to protest, and the implications that it has for us as conscientious citizens.
