With over 140 entries, it was difficult to select the winners... but we did!
About Our 2025 Limerick Scholarship
California Freethought Day believes that secular rights, science, and the First Amendment should be celebrated, and wants to support students as they further their education.
To further that goal, we launched a social media scholarship contest for high school and college students anywhere in the United States.
We awarded $100 to those who have written our favorite posts (as tweets, videos, photos, etc) who write a limerick that reflects on our theme:
One Nation, Indivisible, Liberty and Justice for All
The Winners
Arranged in no particular order.
@camcorderbella
We strive for a land fair and free,Where all live with true dignity.With justice our guide,And no one denied—One nation in bold unity.
@CharTgg
One nation, they say, standing tall,
But cracks run the length of the wall.
We patch and we fight,
For all to have right,
Or freedom’s not freedom at all.
@shelleylbuckallew
I once felt unseen in the crowd,Till I learned to speak fiercely and loud.Now I fight for the dayWhen all voices can say:"We belong here, and we make you proud."
@moondoll_mya
A leader declared with great pride,“That change will come fast, far, and wide!”But once they had won,The work weighed a ton.And most of those pledges just… died. :)
@mylifemane
Though justice may stumble or fall,Its echo still answers the call.Together we rise,With fire in our eyes,Demanding one nation for all.
@Derek__Lam
Though voices may clash and may call,
True freedom must still stand for all.
When rights intertwine,
Your struggle is mine,
We rise indivisible, tall.
@JasonScotto2026
The law should protect every soul,Not silence or limit their role.With truth on our side,We march and we stride-Equality's always the goal.
@VanillaT98440
There are voices we all need to hear,
Yet injustice still lingers so near.
When we rise up and fight,
For what’s equal and right,
We can shape a more just, kinder sphere.
@tanukiiko
The promise of freedom is clear,When young voices rise without fear. In senate and streets, Our action repeats, Till justice is truly sincere.
