DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nNOTICE: This program will be held in the ECFS gymnasium. Please enter the Society’s western/ramp entrance on West 64th Street and follow our ushers and signs to find the room. \nUS-based businesses have been the greatest beneficiaries of the post-World War II international order\, rooted in human rights and the rule of law.

As the November mid-term elections loom on the horizon\, Professor Posner will discuss the risks to fair elections and what business leaders can and should be doing to support our democracy. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nCan’t join us in-person? RSVP to watch on Zoom here. \nAbout Michael H. Posner\nMichael Posner is the Director of the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights\, the first human rights center at a business school. He also is the Jerome Kohlberg Professor of Ethics and Finance. From September 2009 until March 2013\, he served in the Obama Administration as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy\, Human Rights and Labor at the U.S. State Department. Before going into government\, he was the Executive Director and then President of Human Rights First\, a U.S.-based human rights advocacy organization. He is the author of Conscience Incorporated: Pursue Profits While Protecting Human Rights. \nMonthly Collection\nThe New York Society for Ethical Culture \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Diane Debrovner: 'Seeing One Another: Inspiring Curiosity and Empathy Through Children’s Books'
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nDiane Debrovner shares the story behind her co-authored middle grade novel\, Roxie In Color\,  about a 12-year-old who wants to be known as more than “the girl with blind parents.” Inspired by an article in Parents Magazine\, the book explores misconceptions about people who are blind\, and the discrimination they still face. Many families live in fear of Child Protective Services because their ability to keep their children safe is questioned. This talk explores hidden biases about disability\, how fiction can provide both windows and mirrors for readers\, and what people of all ages can learn from reading children’s books. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nRSVP to Join on Zoom \nAbout Diane Debrovner\nDiane Debrovner is a middle grade author who writes for anyone who’s ever felt different\, left out\, or unsure where they belong. Before turning to fiction\, she spent many years as Deputy Editor at Parents Magazine\, writing about child development\, health\, education\, and books. Her debut novel\, Roxie in Color\, coauthored with Stacy Cervenka\, was sparked by her article\, “What Blind Parents Want You to See.” She also helps nonprofits share their stories to raise the funding they need. \nMonthly Collection\nThe New York Society for Ethical Culture \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

Free with RSVP>> \nCan’t attend in person?  Livestream link >> \nLuendu/Journey\, livestreamed from Kinshasa:\n“In the ancestral conceptions of my people\, we do not only get born once but a few times during our life time. Birth-like rituals are reenactments where the spiritual and the material world converge. For me\, artistic and performative practices are also such converging points and moments of transformations. When imbalances are weakening our communities\, spirits appear to recreate a prosperous life between humans and all living beings. There is a strong interdependency between the DR Congo’s soil and today’s digital world and communication systems: a vast amount of the resources that fuel the contemporary come from the DR Congo\, be it coltan\, copper\, or other resources. \nIn the last thirty years\, millions of people have died in my country because of the global hunger for these resources. “Luendu” is a performance that revolves around these topics and activates mythological figures to create connections between times and spaces and the possibility to engage beyond recurring violence. It is a reinterpreted birthing ritual that shows the triumph of life over death\, of resistance over oppression\, of resilience over exploitation.” \n— Nada Tshibwabwa \nThis event is co-sponsored by Jungledom Network\, with support from Ethical.NYC’s Young Ethical Explorers. Admission is free with reservations. Donations are welcomed for COFECO\, an organization supporting Congolese women. \n~~~~+++~~~~ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis work is supported by Mwano Studio\, Jungledom Network and New York Society for Ethical Culture and is made possible\, in part\, by the Franklin Furnace FUND 2025-26\, supported by SHS Foundation\, Silicon Valley Community Foundation and the members and friends of Franklin Furnace Archive.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Curt Collier: How to be Gay (Even if You're Not a Homosexual)
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nAt a time when many people still struggle to live openly and authentically\, “How to Be Gay: Even If You Are Not a Homosexual” explores a deeper and more universal question: what can all of us learn from those who have had to fight simply for the right to exist as themselves? \nDrawing from the writings\, reflections\, and lived experiences of gay thinkers\, activists\, and ordinary people\, this talk examines how the struggle for self-acceptance often produces profound insights into courage\, identity\, dignity\, community\, and freedom. More than a talk about sexuality\, this is a conversation about becoming fully human — about resisting shame\, rejecting conformity\, standing up for the humanity of others\, and discovering what becomes possible when people refuse to hide who they are. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nRSVP to Join on Zoom \nMonthly Collection\nThe New York Society for Ethical Culture \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Daniel Wortel-London: 'The Beloved Economy: Ethical Economic Thought and the Rebuilding of Community'
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nWhat is the economy? At its most basic\, it’s how we meet our material needs. But some of these methods have come at a profound cost—fracturing communities\, degrading environments\, and concentrating wealth at the expense of shared flourishing. Drawing on historical and contemporary research\, this talk explores a different tradition: ethical economic thinking that centers community\, care\, and democratic participation. What would it mean to build an economy we actually love—one that serves people and places\, not just growth? \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nRSVP to Join on Zoom \nAbout Daniel Wortel-London\nDaniel Wortel-London\, Ph.D. is a historian\, policy researcher\, and Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Bard College.
