Who is Sunsara Taylor?

 

Sunsara is an uncompromising atheist and fighter for the liberation of women and the emancipation of all humanity. Her coverage of the rise of Christian fascism has taken her to the gates of abortion clinics across the country, to Terri Schiavo’s hospice, to inside the stadiums of the BattleCry movement to train Christian youth shock troops and led to numerous impressive verbal battles with Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and countless thoughtful interviews with reality-based radio hosts. Early to recognize and sound the alarm against the “friendly” fundamentalism being legitimated by President Obama, Taylor made national and international news for shouting out “Rick Warren is a bigot! No ‘common ground’ with bigot Rick Warren!” during Warren’s keynote sermon on MLK Day, one day before he gave the invocation for Obama’s inauguration. She has been on the frontlines of the movement for women’s abortion rights, most recently speaking widely both before and since the murder of Dr. George Tiller on abortion, morality and women’s liberation.
 
Ms. Taylor’s 2008-2009 speaking tour on AWAY WITH ALL GODS! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World by Bob Avakian (Insight Press, 2008), brought her to urban high schools, campus groups, and academic departments including the Center for the Study of Religion at UCLA, the Black Studies Program at Cleveland State University, and Barbara Jordan School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University.
Sunsara co-hosts WBAI (Pacifica) radio program “Equal Time for Free Thought” where she interviews cutting edge authors on the dangers of the Christian right, the oppression of women, and the importance of science, critical thinking and an unfettered search for the truth.
 
Sunsara Taylor’s articles have appeared in Revolution (revcom.us), TruthDig.com, TruthOut.org, Counterpunch, OnlineJournal.com, OpEdNews.com, SmirkingChimp.com, and numerous blogs.

Sunsara Taylor will also be speaking at this  Atheist Alliance International Conference workshop:

 
‘Common Ground’ Is Killing Ground:  

 Abortion, Morality and Christian Fascism

in the Age of Obama

 

Friday, Oct. 2nd, 5 PM

Burbank Airport Marriott & Convention Center

(Conference registration required to hear presentations) 
 
Many expected that the Obama administration marked the end of the influence of Christian fascism in this country. In reality, his presidency began with an invocation by biblical-literalist Rick Warren and has seen a resurgence of bigoted Christian fundamentalists efforts to reshape this country through legal (banning gay marriage) as well as extra-legal (assassinating an abortion doctor) means. Why has this movement continued so tenaciously? Why does seeking “common ground” with these forces only demobilize secular and progressive people and unleash the worst in bigoted fundamentalism? How do we counter this politically, practically, and with a far better secular morality?

Sunsara Taylor will speak to these questions drawing on the powerful analysis of Bob Avakian’s “AWAY WITH ALL GODS! Unchaining the Mind and Radically Changing the World.”
