SUMMARY:Film & Discussion: The Need to Grow
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Need To GROW\, a new documentary that follows pioneers of cutting edge technology as they fight to localize sustainable food systems and regenerate Earth’s dying soils. \n“Really inspiring\, moving\, and powerful!” -Rosario Dawson \n“It is a hopeful documentary that shows that we have a way out of these challenges.” -Sen. Cory Booker \nIn a race against the end of farmable soil\, three individuals fight for change in the industry of agricultural food production\, calling for a revolution. \n“The Need to GROW” delivers alarming evidence on the importance of healthy soil — revealing not only the potential of localized food production working with nature\, but our opportunity as individuals to help regenerate our planet’s dying soils and participate in the restoration of the Earth.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Saad Amer: "Climate Action: Why Collective Action is The Answer"
DESCRIPTION:With wildfires in California\, devastating hurricanes across the Atlantic\, and record temperatures across the US\, climate change is more visible than ever. Despite the billions of dollars in damages and lives lost this last year\, the US is moving backward in climate policy. While individual actions can make a difference\, systematic change is essential in dealing with the Climate Crisis\, especially given its impact on marginalized communities\, human health\, inequality and the economy. This talk will focus on the why voting is essential\, how we can organize our communities\, and how we can turn the momentum on climate into a movement to the polls come 2020. \nSaad Amer is an environmentalist\, activist and the Founder of Plus1Vote\, an organization dedicated to improving voter turnout and improving representation in our democracy. The organization rallies voters on issues like climate change and reached million of Americans in the 2018 midterms. He works with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Youth Constituency\, YOUNGO\, is an Expert Reviewer for the upcoming IPCC report and is an advisor to the National Parks Conservation Association on their Next Generation Advisory Council. He has worked on environmental issues in India\, China and the US\, co-created Harvard University’s inaugural Sustainability Plan\, and discovered a new hybrid species in French Polynesia. He has organized and educated hundreds of K-12 students at the Fish Thicket Land Preserve in New York and has worked with Brookhaven National Laboratory. He went to Harvard University where he studied Environmental Science and Public Policy with a minor in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology. (Photo credit: Heather Walsh) \nShared Charity: Plus1Vote \nPresider: Danny Hanson \nFREE and open to the public. \n\nSunday 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 usually 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 Ethical Culture philosophy.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Intergenerational Winter Solstice Festival: "Weaving the Light and the Night" w/ Bonita Oliver
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a delightful morning of solstice celebration as our inter-generational community gathers to reflect on our relationship with nature. Explore how the cycle of waning daylight affords opportunities for dreaming\, healing\, reflection\, and quietude\, and how humans since the beginning have created ceremonies of light for warmth\, safety\, and storytelling. Through storytelling\, music\, singing and meditations\, our festival team will weave the threads of the human story into the tapestry that we call nature. We are so happy that this year Bonita Oliver will be joining us. \nBonita Oliver is a multidisciplinary artist\, actress\, and award-winning filmmaker. She also performs under the pseudonym “French Leave.” The message of her work — which is largely improvised— is about transition\, the process of moving through. As a solo artist\, Bonita has performed at venues such as The Northampton Center for The Arts\, The Juilliard School\, Joe’s Pub\, and The Schomburg Center. She is a founding member of “Moving Star\,” a vocal group in residence at Carnegie Hall\, where she has recently led a program for children and families. \nShared Charity: Encampment for Citizenship \nPresider: Audrey Kindred and Leader Dr. Richard Koral \nFREE and open to the public. \n\nSunday 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 usually 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 Ethical Culture philosophy.

SUMMARY:Write for Rights with Amnesty International
DESCRIPTION:Amnesty International USA – NYC Groups 9 & 280‘s Annual “Write for Rights” event (this year\, Sunday\, Dec. 8th) to mark Human Rights Day (annually on Dec. 10th)! \nSometimes a letter can change someone’s life. That’s the premise of “Write for Rights”\, Amnesty International’s annual global letter-writing campaign. \nEvery December\, to mark Human Rights Day (the anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948)\, Amnesty supporters across the globe continue a long tradition of sending out appeals in support of people whose basic human rights are being attacked. \nEach year\, Amnesty identifies 10 urgent cases where global activism can make a huge impact\, and supplies information on each case\, along with pre-written letters. This year\, we’re throwing our might behind the children and young people who are fighting some of the world’s biggest crises\, people like Yasaman Aryani\, a 24-year-old activist sentenced to 16 years in prison for campaigning against forced veiling\, and Magai Matiop Ngong\, just 15 when he was sentenced to death in South Sudan. Many have stepped in where adults have failed to lead\, and are facing terrible danger as a result. Your letters really can change their lives\, and we invite you to participate in this year’s Write for Rights event. The human rights defenders in this year’s cases are counting on you. Some are in jail. Others are under dire threat. All of them targeted for their human rights work. \nPlease join us Sunday\, December 8\, at 1pm in New York Society for Ethical Culture‘s Ceremonial Hall to let the people in this year’s 10 cases know they have not been forgotten. Amnesty will supply pre-printed letters\, envelopes\, printed address labels\, pens\, case histories and refreshments. All you need to bring is yourself (return address labels are optional). International stamps for letters you sign would be greatly appreciated\, but are not required. \nWrite for Rights is the biggest human rights event in the world\, uniting supporters from more than 100 countries. Together\, we have freed prisoners of conscience\, saved the lives of human rights defenders under attack\, stopped torture\, and put an end to some of the world’s worse human rights abuses. Please join us.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Joe Chuman: "The Enduring Relevance of Ethical Culture"
DESCRIPTION:When Ethical Culture was founded in 1876\, as a religious movement dedicated exclusively to the ethical ideals\, devoid of the accouterments of the the historical religions\, it was radical\, distinctive and unique. And that uniqueness made it attractive to many who felt they could no longer embrace the traditional faiths. Ethical Culture also attracted luminaries from the upper classes which enabled it to generate a raft of progressive institutions. \nBut times have changed and so have the resources of the Ethical Movement. Today our uniqueness has faded and it is more difficult to make our mark in a universe of social change and non[profit organizations. We have also witnessed the emergence of humanist organizations espousing philosophies not so different from our own. \nSo\, the question arises: In what ways does Ethical Culture remain relevant as we confront a reality with many competing organizations plowing the same fields? I plan to respond to this challenge in my address of December 8th \nShared Charity: Social Service Board \nPresider: Henryka Komanska \nFREE and open to the public. \n\nSunday 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 usually 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 Ethical Culture philosophy. A collection basket is passed and money is shared between the Society and a charity selected for that day.  While contributions are always appreciated\, Sunday meetings are free and open to the public.  Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo view previous Sunday Platform addresses and interviews\, visit the Ethical NYC YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Ethics in Film: Black Narcissus
DESCRIPTION:This explosive work about the conflict between the spirit and the flesh is the epitome of the sensuous style of Michael Powell and Emeric Presburger. A group of nuns struggle to establish a convent in the Himalayas\, while isolation\, extreme weather\, altitude\, and culture clashes all conspire to drive the well-intentioned missionaries mad. A darkly grand film\, Black Narcissus is one of the greatest achievements by two of cinema’s true visionaries. \nJoin us every 1st Friday for film screenings followed by a lively discussion of the ethical issues explored. \n$5\, includes snacks and refreshments (popcorn\, beer\, coffee\, tea).

SUMMARY:Formerly Fundamentalist NYC: "Atheism & Morality: Mapping the Game" w/ Andrew Dennis
DESCRIPTION:Andrew’s talk focuses on the issues resulting from an atheist worldview. He starts by introducing a custom-made framework that utilizes game theory to identify and analyze players in what he calls “The Values Game.” He then divides the concept of atheism into three components and uses this stratification to explain how conversations in atheist spaces get derailed. \nBy the end\, attendees should be able to: \n\nMaintain a new and intuitive understanding of human moral development\nGrasp the generalized history of how we got to where we are\nUnderstand the pitfalls that activist groups fall into\nImprove their own activism\, general understanding of reality\, and conversations with others\n\nFree and walk-ins are welcome. But RSVPs are appreciated so we know how many people to expect: https://bit.ly/2JDup4O
