SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Curt Collier: Why Progressive Movements Fail
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\, in-person and online! \nThe U.S. has seen a significant decline in civic engagement. As a result\, well-organized and well-funded groups have increasingly dominated public discourse. This shift has led to notable outcomes\, such as the banning of books\, restrictions on students learning about slavery\, multiple efforts to dismantle the Voting Rights Act\, and limitations on women’s reproductive rights. These developments have been linked to the decline of progressive civic organizations that traditionally countered these trends. How did this happen\, and what steps can be taken to restore civic engagement and protect our democracy? \nRSVP to Watch Online\nClick here to RSVP on Zoom \nAbout Curt Collier\nCurt Collier is the Leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County and a passionate advocate for community redevelopment. He works as a consultant\, helping nonprofits enhance their capacity to make a positive impact. Additionally\, Collier is a professor of Ethics and Ethics in Science at Fairleigh Dickinson University and serves as a Community Planning Specialist for the National Park Service. He leads various initiatives\, including job training programs for New York City schools\, support for environmental nonprofits in New Jersey\, and projects aimed at improving scientific literacy among young adults. Collier is also the consulting Leader for the Ethical Culture Society of Silicon Valley\, and the Austin Ethical Society. \nMonthly Collection\nMarch for Our Lives \nAbout Sunday Platform\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.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Philip Lindsay: The Freedom to Assemble
DESCRIPTION:When most of us think of the First Amendment\, we think of free speech. But what do we make of the freedom to assemble? Whatever lies ahead for American Democracy\, it will not thrive unless we are meeting in person\, building relationships across division\, and negotiating common ground. What role might citizens’ assemblies play in the years ahead for those committed to self-government? \nCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion\, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech\, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble\, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. \nNotice: Our original program for this week\, a discussion with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg\, has been postponed. A new date will be announced soon. \nJoin Online\nClick Here to RSVP and Join on Zoom \nAbout Philip Lindsay\nPhilip Lindsay leads the Democracy Innovation Hub at the Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities at Bard College.

SUMMARY:Onondaga Nation Land Care Benefit Film Screening: THE GOOD MIND
DESCRIPTION:Help raise $230\,000 for critical firefighting equipment to care for lands being returned to Onondaga Nation! \nJoin members of the Onondaga Nation for a talk and screening of The Good Mind to benefit the Onondaga Nation Volunteer Fire Department. The film chronicles the story of the Onondaga Nation’s fight to preserve their relationships to the land of their ancestors\, amid vast environmental degradation and treaty violations by New York State lawmakers. \nAppetizers and seltzers will be served. Doors open at 6pm and program begins at 6:30pm. Children welcome! \nCovid protocol: Air filters will be in use. Masks welcomed and encouraged. Please take a Covid test at home the same day. We’ll have some masks on hand for those who need them. \nAccess: the building has a ramp and an elevator to the room. The room is a short distance from the elevator. if you need reserved seating\, CART\, or other accommodations please let us know by emailing cheyennawebernyc@gmail.com. The film will include subtitles. \nRSVP and Donate\nClick here to purchase tickets or donate to the cause! \nAbout Onondaga Nation Land Care\nOnondaga Nation territory is home to people who live according to their original instructions among the woods\, waters\, and hills of their ancestors. The Onondaga care for the land as a sovereign nation independent of the United States — including maintaining all the infrastructure and services that New York State provides to settler communities. That includes operating a highly trained volunteer Fire Department to respond to all fires and emergencies on the Nation’s land and to back up the volunteer fire departments in the surrounding settler communities. \nAs land returns to the Nation as a result of centuries of advocacy and relationship-building\, the need for critical land care services like the Onondaga Nation Volunteer Fire Department only grows. \nFighting fires requires special training and equipment — and it’s expensive. In 2024 the Onondaga firefighters must raise $230\,000 to cover ten protective suits that allow them to fight fires safely. Without any support from the state\, feds\, or county\, Onondaga firefighters are relying on donations to meet this critical need.
