— 'The Orbit' Mission Statement[1]
| “ | We aim to contribute to a more just and equitable world for all people, free of disadvantage on the basis of gender, gender identity, race, age, economic or other social class, sexuality, physical ability or mental illness, geography, nationality, immigration status, and other forms of marginalization and systemic oppression. Our site is feminist and progressive. We know black lives matter and that no one is illegal. | ” |
The Orbit is a new website for atheist supporters of social justice started in mid March 2016. The site hosts many prominent former contributors to Freethought Blogs and covers similar issues to Atheism+. [1] The Orbit contributors also include people from Skepchick, Patheos and elsewhere. PZ Myers feels the site is 'metastisizing' and adding to the problems opponents of social justice face. [2]
