What do our shared values lead us to do now in order to cultivate a world in which we bring out the best in each other and ideas are allowed to flourish without threat of violence? A panel of ‘freethinkers’ from within our movement will draw from philosophy\, history\, and Ethical Culture. They are Dr. David Sprintzen\, Professor Emeritus at Long Island University; Christian Hayden\, Leader-in-Training at the Ethical Society of St. Louis; and Jone Johnson Lewis\, Leader at the Riverdale-Yonkers Society for Ethical Culture. \nThis program is part of our All-Ethical Societies Platform series\, in which Ethical Culture societies from around the country will join together on Zoom to learn and grow together. \nClick here to join at start time\nFor join information\, please also see this week’s Ethical Weekly email. \nFor more information\, please visit this event on the American Ethical Union website. \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

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:Sunday Platform - Renaldo Pearson: "The Rise and Fall of American Democracy: A 2020 Election Postmortem" (Online)
DESCRIPTION:In February 2018\, Renaldo Pearson gave a speech at the inaugural Unrig the System Summit in New Orleans\, where he outlined a new framework for the democracy movement that he calls “The 7 Deadly Sins of American Democracy.” His speech anchored the first day of the largest annual cross-partisan gathering of democracy reformers in the country. Global think tank and government corruption watchdog Transparency International has since credited his new framework for becoming “a touchstone for thousands of anti-corruption and pro-democracy activists around the country.” In his January 2021 NYSEC talk\, he will present this framework in the context of an anti-democracy decade that started with the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United and 2013 Shelby decisions — making his generation the first to witness America become less democratic — and culminated with the historic 2020 election\, as he invites the audience to explore whether we should now be conducting a postmortem for American democracy itself. \nRenaldo Pearson serves as Chief Diversity Officer & Director of External Affairs for RepresentUs\, the country’s largest grassroots anti-corruption campaign that builds cross-partisan coalitions to advance electoral reforms state-by-state to unrig the system. In 2018\, the movement celebrated more pro-democracy and anti-corruption wins at the local and state level than at any point in U.S. history. In 2019\, Pearson received a National Citizen Leadership Award\, following a 700-mile #Democracy911 walk that declared a state of emergency on corruption and the state of democracy in America and helped to secure the pledges of a record 17 presidential candidates to #FixDemocracyFirst if elected in 2020. \nClick here to join at start time | ID 863 0430 0961\nFor full join information\, please also see this week’s Ethical Weekly email. \nPresider: Sarah Sprott \nShared Charity: Goddard Riverside \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Anne Klaeysen: An Old White Woman Talks About Racism (Online)
DESCRIPTION:I grew up in a village on the Erie Canal east of Rochester. Everyone was white. The first Black person I met was Terry\, who joined my third-grade class when his family worked on a local farm during harvest season. We became friends but he did not stay long. Migrant workers must follow the crops. A decade later\, I met a second Black person. Priscilla was my freshman roommate at SUNY Albany. We became friends\, too\, but grew apart after that first year. Now that I am much older\, and challenged by the work of anti-racism\, I wonder about them. How did they navigate the mostly white spaces where I met them? Did I fail them? How do I confront white supremacy\, in all its blatant and subtle forms\, today? \nDr. Anne Klaeysen is Leader Emerita of the New York Society for Ethical Culture\, Humanist Chaplain at New York University\, and Ethical Humanist Religious Life Adviser at Columbia University. She serves on the boards of the Ethical Culture Fieldston Schools and The Encampment for Citizenship. Anne holds a Doctor of Ministry degree in pastoral care and counseling from Hebrew Union College. She and her husband\, Glenn Newman\, were married at the Brooklyn Society and raised their children\, Andrew and Emily\, there. \nClick here to join at start time | ID 863 0430 0961\nFor full join information\, please also see this week’s Ethical Weekly email. \nPresider: Steve Serling \nShared Charity: Goddard Riverside \n\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Joe Chuman: The Only Way From Here is Up (Online)

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.
