SUMMARY:Leader’s Lunchtime Roundtable: John Roberts and The Supremes (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Bring your lunch and join Leader Dr. Nori Rost and members for an engaging round-table discussion on the issues of the day and recommended readings. \nRecent news reports reveal that some of the justices on the United States Supreme Court have been engaging in highly unethical behavior in regards to relationships (both financial and personal) with wealthy people who have business with the Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts has declined a request to meet with a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on ethics reform for SCOTUS. Allegedly\, justices “self-govern” to ensure that ethical standards are kept. But is this actually true? Should SCOTUS have an enforceable code of ethics? Who should create it? Who should enforce it? \nhttps://www.npr.org/2023/05/01/1172996758/senate-hearing-supreme-court-ethics-mazie-hirono \nhttps://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-05-03/editorial-the-supreme-court-needs-ethics-reform-that-shouldnt-be-a-partisan-issue \nhttps://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/the-supreme-courts-ethics-problem-is-more-important-than-separation-of-powers-former-ethics-czar/ar-AA1azh8J \nCongressional Control Over the Supreme Court – Congressional Research Service \nWhy the Supreme Court is Blind to Its Own Corruption – The New York Times \nFree and open to the public!\nCOVID-19 NOTICE: Masks are optional but strongly encouraged. \nClick to join at start time | Zoom ID 861 1417 5760 | Passcode 347145

SUMMARY:Philip Lindsay: 'Citizens’ Assemblies: Possibilities and Challenges'
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nCitizens assemblies represent one pathway towards a more collaborative form of democracy that puts everyday people at the center of governing. Three qualities make them stand out: the use of random selection to create a representative sample of the public\, the space and time for deep deliberation\, and an emphasis that policy recommendations be tied to actual decision-making power. Such lotteries were a core feature of decision making in ancient Athens. And contemporary assemblies have tackled controversial and complex issues\, from climate change in France to abortion and same-sex marriage in Ireland. \nFrom Germany to Colombia\, Japan to Chile\, such assemblies are on the rise at all levels of government. In Bolivia\, schools have demonstrated the benefits of using lottery to inspire civic duty and participatory culture in student government. And NYC experimented with deliberative committees as part of its citywide Participatory Budgeting in 2023. \nPhilip Lindsay just returned from a brief tour of three major European cities which have integrated permanent assemblies into their local government (Milan\, Brussels and Paris). Join us to discuss the possibilities and limits of these assemblies. How might they contribute to the protection and “revitalization” of democracy? \nPhilip Lindsay grew up in Philadelphia and lives in Sunset Park\, Brooklyn. He leads the Democracy Innovation Hub (DIH) at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College. In July of 2022\, the Hub hosted “Citizens’ Assemblies: A Workshop to Revitalize Democracy\,” which brought together over 50 public servants\, elected officials\, and community advocates. This led to the implementation of three deliberative budgeting processes in NYC government in 2023. Philip also co-taught the course “Democratic Innovation and Citizen Lotteries: from Ancient Athens to the French Climate Assembly.” The Hub also hosted the “Doing Democracy Differently Teacher Fellowship” which trains high school teachers on how to bring deliberative democracy into the classroom. \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. \nPresider: Sarah Sprott \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. Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo watch previous Sunday Platforms\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Ethics Unplugged: Embodied Movement with Sexologist Tyomi Morgan (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Notice: This week’s session is online only. \nJoin Society Leaders Nori Rost and Jé Hooper for Ethics Unplugged\, an exciting reimagining of Ethical Culture\, every Wednesday at 7:00pm. \nThis week’s guest is sexologist\, pleasure coach\, and intimacy coordinator Tyomi Morgan: \n\nMy name is Tyomi and I am a certified Sexologist\, Pleasure Coach\, Movement specialist and ASSASSIN Trainer.\n\nI began my journey with movement in high school when I joined a dance club called Orchesis\, and it changed my life forever. I was an introvert with a body that appeared to be much more mature than my age\, and I often felt shame around it. Dance taught me to be proud of my body and to use it to express myself through art. I gained confidence\, learned how to move through life shamelessly\, and connected with my sensuality forever.\n\nI am passionate about movement\, and I understand what it’s like to feel disconnected from your body. Taking control of your pleasure is rooted in your ability to feel into your body and to trust it in motion.\n\n\nJune’s Theme: Wild and Holy Embodiment\, Pt. II \nAs we head into our final month of our Ethics Unplugged experiment we will continue to focus on embodied pleasure. The conversations through May have been deeply personal\, theoretical\, and just down right juicy! We couldn’t cover all the topics we wanted to\, so we’re extending the theme. Living ethically is always an embodied experience\, but sometimes we Ethical Humanists tend to get stuck in our head and forget we even have a body! \nThis month we’ll explore embodied movement\, talk about sex in our elder years\, and explore how rest can be resistance. As 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. \nThe first three weeks will be Zoom webinars only\, to accommodate our guest speakers\, but join us live and in person on June 22nd to celebrate the wrap-up of a great experiment! People who attend in person will be given a special gift to help you love and appreciate your beautiful\, strong\, tender\, capable bodies! \n\nWatch Online! Click to Join at Start | Zoom ID 864 8703 7420 \nFree and open to the public!
