Steven Emmert is Executive Director of Secular Coalition for America (SCA). He is an experienced nonprofit executive having worked in the policy, advocacy, and health sectors. He is a firm believer that the voice of the secular community needs to be expanded and more broadly heard. The rise of Christian nationalism has him even more committed to SCA’s work and mission. Prior to joining SCA, he was Deputy Director at Us Helping Us, an organization fighting to reduce the impact of HIV and achieve health equity for underserved and marginalized populations. Having also worked for Planned Parenthood affiliates in nearly all parts of the country, Steven has advocated for health access and equity in eight state capitals as well as on Capitol Hill (here in Washington, DC). While his passion is healthcare, he is critically aware that it all starts with a firm foundation of separating the affairs of the state from those of religion.
Steven enjoys traveling, cheering for his Houston Cougars, and — thanks to COVID — has played WAY too many hands of Phase 10.
