DESCRIPTION:Watch online and at our meeting house in-person watch party! \nWe are thrilled to announce that our next All-Societies Platform with special guests from Our Children’s Trust is taking place on April 30th! This is a great opportunity to meet the lawyer and some of the youth plaintiffs in the upcoming lawsuit  Held v. State of Montana\, the first ever constitutional and children’s climate trial in U.S. history- which will begin on June 12th in Helena\, Montana. On March 13\, 2020\, 16 young people from across the state of Montana filed their constitutional climate lawsuit against the state\, asserting that by supporting a fossil fuel driven energy system\, which is contributing to the climate crisis\, Montana is violating their constitutional rights to a clean and healthful environment\, to seek safety\, health and happiness\, and to individual dignity and equal protection of the law. They also argue that the state’s fossil fuel energy system is degrading and depleting Montana’s constitutionally protected public trust resources\, including the atmosphere\, rivers and lakes\, fish and wildlife \nThis is a unique opportunity for Ethical Culture families to explore together how to empower our youngsters to speak up and speak out\, and to show them a path forward that is empowering and grounded in our beliefs. Click on the link below to RSVP for what will be an amazing event. We hope to see you there. \nRead more about “the greening of state constitutions” at the Brennan Center. \nAbout Our Children’s Trust\nOur Children’s Trust (OCT) is a non-profit\, public-interest law firm that provides campaign-based\, legal services to youth from diverse backgrounds to secure their legal rights to a safe climate.

SUMMARY:Howard Yaruss: Understandable Economics (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online! \nAlthough many economists may be reluctant to admit it\, economics is not a scientific discipline which requires expert knowledge and specialized tools. Like psychology\, economics is a social science\, an attempt to understand human interactions and how they affect the world around us. It focuses on those relationships as they relate to money and the things money buys. In order to tease out some precision regarding those relationships\, economists use data and mathematical tools. But the fundamental relationships can become apparent to anyone willing to observe the world carefully and apply their own common sense. The goal of this talk is to help participants do just that. \nHoward Yaruss will discuss our economy and his new book\, Understandable Economics (Prometheus Books\, 2022)\, which breaks down our economic system in a straightforward way\, avoiding jargon\, formulas\, graphs\, and other technical material so common in books on this subject. In particular\, he will discuss some common economic myths regarding money and business and show how they can easily be demystified. For example\, he will discuss misunderstandings many people have about cryptocurrencies\, economic growth\, the national debt\, the tax system\, the Fed\, and inflation. \nRead the Kirkus review of Howard’s “impressively clear presentation that should prove useful to those looking for a one-stop primer.” \nThere will be ample time for questions and the author looks forward to a spirited conversation. Free and open to the public! \nClick here to RSVP to attend in-person \nClick here to RSVP to watch on Zoom \nHoward Yaruss is an economist\, professor\, attorney\, businessman\, and activist who greatly enjoys explaining complex issues in a clear\, interesting and accessible way. He has taught a variety of economics and business courses and currently teaches at New York University. Previously\, he served as General Counsel of Radian Group\, one of the largest guarantors of debt in the world. He has also served on the Boards of organizations that advocate for safer streets\, help the homeless and support the arts. He lives on the Upper West Side and serves on our local community board.

SUMMARY:Ethics Unplugged: Our Bodies\, Ourselves
DESCRIPTION:Join us in-person and online! \nFor many women\, the book Our Bodies\, Ourselves (1970\, with many subsequent editions) was a sort of sacred text\, a book that introduced us to our own bodies and talked about many sexualities. However\, as adults we strayed away from the liberation we felt while reading those sacred words. \nTonight we will kick off our series on Wild and Holy Embodiment and examine ways we can reconnect with our bodies\, regardless of our gender\, and love our own dear\, tender flesh. \nFeaturing music by Lindsey Wilson! \nJoin Society Leaders Nori Rost and Jé Hooper for Ethics Unplugged\, an exciting reimagining of Ethical Culture\, every Wednesday at 7:00pm. Come early for wine and snacks! \nMay’s Theme: Wild and Holy Embodiment \nJoin Ethics Unplugged in May as we focus on embodied pleasure. Often\, it’s easy for folx engaged in social justice activism to get caught up in the pursuit of justice and forget to appreciate what it means to be embodied and the pleasure we can find in our flesh and bones. \nWe’ll explore some of the more radical ways our bodies can delight us\, as well as explore the power of pleasure in the many forms it reveals itself to us as embodied beings. \nAs always\, we will bring the hermeneutics of ethics to these conversations\, remembering there is an ethical practice in the most radical spaces\, to engage the most revolutionary acts of pleasure. \nWatch Online! Click to Join at Start | Zoom ID 864 8703 7420 \nFree and open to the public!\nCOVID-19 Notice: Masks are optional but strongly encouraged.

SUMMARY:Ethics Unplugged: What We Owe the Future
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nJoin us on this Sunday morning as Dr. Nori Rost and Dr. Je Hooper bring their wildly popular midweek program to Sunday morning! If you haven’t tuned in to\, or attended\, the 7 PM program each Wednesday\, this will be a great opportunity to experience on Sunday morning. \nOn the 147th anniversary of Ethical Culture\, Nori and Je will discuss the book\, What We Owe Our Future by William MacAskill. In this book\, MacAskill makes the case for longtermism—an ethical stance which gives priority to improving the long-term future—and proposes that we can make the future better in two ways: “by averting permanent catastrophes\, thereby ensuring civilisation’s survival; or by changing civilisation’s trajectory to make it better while it lasts.  According to MacAskill\, the present era is a critical juncture: \nFew people who ever live will have as much power to positively influence the future as we do. Such rapid technological\, social\, and environmental change means that we have more opportunity to affect when and how the most important of these changes occur. \nJoin us as Nori and Je discuss how this relates to our movement and how we can use the lens of longtermism to ensure a thriving\, healthy Ethical Movement for the generations to come. \nA special treat: Lindsey Wilson\, the fabulous musician who accompanies Je and Nori at Ethics Unplugged on Wednesday evenings\, will also be joining us this morning. \nCOVID-19 Notice: Vaccination required. Masks optional but strongly encouraged. \nWatch Online: Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above. \nMonthly Collection: Planned Parenthood Action Fund \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 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.

Norman is a graduate of Brooklyn College (1965) and New York University School of Law (1968). \nNorman’s law career has focused on cases dealing with voting rights\, civil liberties\, and civil rights. In the early 1970s\, as field director of the NYCLU\, he spearheaded the historic New York campaigns for both the impeachment of President Richard M. Nixon and passage of the New York State Equal Rights Amendment. From 1985 to 2000\, Norman served as executive director of NYCLU.

In private practice since 2002\, Norman’s work in civil rights and civil liberties law continues. \nBorn in New York City and raised in Brooklyn\, Norman graduated from NYC public schools and is committed to restoring excellence in public education. Norman and his wife\, Saralee Evans live on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
