Sunday Platform – Nori Rost: To Dream the Impossible Dream? (Hybrid)
June 5, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
In-person and online!
102 days ago, Russia invaded Ukraine. That made it one of 26 wars currently happening in the world at this time. In this platform, Dr. Rost will tackle the topic: How to Abolish War! Is this a pipe dream? Is it attainable in our lifetime? What can we, as average citizens of the world, do to work toward this goal?
Ethical NYC Food Drive: Please bring a can of protein–tuna, chicken, beans, etc.–a jar of nut butter, or box of pasta to Platform to support our Food Insecurity Initiative. Spices and cooking oils are requested as well, as they are not covered by SNAP and the price of cooking oil has skyrocketed.

Sunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event. These gatherings educate, stimulate personal growth, inspire reflection and action, and strengthen our community. Sunday meetings begin with music, followed by greetings and a talk given by a Society Leader, member, or guest. Platforms cover a variety of topics that reflect current events, pressing social issues, and Humanist philosophy. Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour.
