Explore our list of actions you can take this month to make our city, state, country, and planet a better place!
The motto of The New York Society for Ethical Culture is Deed Above Creed, something we’ve worked to live up to with our rich tradition of activism since 1876.
In that spirit, in 2021 and beyond the Society will be sending out Calls to Action, featuring important causes selected by our member committees and allies, because your voice and your deeds matter!
Tell Members of Congress to Support the Full Build Back Better Reconciliation Bill
As the reconciliation process continues in Congress, tell your Senators and Representatives to support the full $3.5 trillion Build Back Better proposal. The bill is currently facing attempts to water down or strip out key provisions like Medicare expansion, drug price negotiation, and fair-share taxation. It’s crucial that our elected representatives hold the line!
