SUMMARY:Sunday Platform - Sam Rivera: The Impact of Overdose Prevention Centers (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nWe will be discussing the operation of two overdose prevention sites in New York\, the first in this nation’s history. We will discuss the sites’ success using our most recent data. Additionally\, we’ll highlight our impact on the surrounding communities\, our organization’s innovative procedures as it pertains to overdose intervention\, as well as the need for other jurisdictions to open similar sites. \nSam Rivera has over 29 years of progressive experience in social services. His primary focus of expertise lies in Criminal Justice/Reentry\, HIV/AIDS\, Harm Reduction\, Addiction/Recovery\, and Mental Health. He currently serves as the Executive Director of New York Harm Reduction Educators and Washington Heights Corner Project\, two merging harm reduction organizations that provide services to active drug users and sex workers in Northern Manhattan and The South Bronx\, many of whom are low-income or homeless as well as of color and LGBTQ. \nHe brings to this role his several decades of cutting-edge service provision experience and a commitment to social justice. He has dedicated his professional career to ameliorating the harms associated with the War on Drugs\, racism/sexism\, structural inequality\, and mass incarceration and will continue to work to end systemic as well as systematic barriers to populations that are most vulnerable. \nIf you question whether harm reduction works\, I can’t help but wonder if you have ever actually seen what happens in these spaces. We promote health\, safety\, and dignity\, and it works. It is simple\, beautiful\, and it changes people’s lives -Haven Wheelock \nNotice: Only fully-vaccinated individuals are invited to attend in-person at this time. \nWatch Online! – Click to join at start | ID 863 0430 0961 | Passcode 609424 \nPresider: Barbara Carlsen \nMonthly Collection: Sunrise NYC \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 our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Ethics and the Theater: 'Lungs' by Duncan Macmillan
DESCRIPTION:Our long-running staged reading and discussion series returns in-person with Lungs by Duncan Macmillan: \nA man and a woman are having a conversation —not an argument or even a discussion\, they insist\, a conversation. Not an ordinary conversation\, though. It spans an entire lifetime\, and topics range from staples like commitment and family to the ethics of having a child in an increasingly environmentally and politically stressed world. It’s a conversation that is by turns and sometimes simultaneously revealing\, funny\, and heartbreaking. \nAfter the play\, Leader Dr. Nori Rost will moderate an open discussion about the ethical issues raised and explored in the work. Produced by Patricia Bruder Debrovner. \nPremiere on Friday\, April 8\, 7:00-8:30pm. \nMembers $5\, Guests $10 (at door) \nCOVID-19 Notice: Proof of COVID-19 vaccination\, photo ID\, and mask are required to attend.

SUMMARY:Exploring Ethical Dilemmas: Difficult Conversations About Aging (Online)
DESCRIPTION:There are many difficult issues and ethical dilemmas related to aging that call for thoughtful discussion. Although a single presentation cannot address all the issues\, we can start the process through this shared exploration and learn from one another. What we anticipate we might do in a hypothetical situation can be very different from what we think\, feel\, and do when faced with the challenge. Listening to a wide range of perspectives better equips us to make decisions that reflect our sense of reason\, ethics\, and morality. Having conversations like this can ultimately be helpful when the times of crisis occur. Social worker and Society member Sandi Sacks leads. \nThis optional questionnaire (PDF) will help prepare for the discussion. Please consider filling it out beforehand and emailing it to to Sandi. All responses are confidential and will not be used with your name. \nSandi Sacks\, LMSW has spent the past 45 years working as a licensed social worker with a specialty in the field of Aging. Her experience includes everything from bereavement counseling\, Program Director of “Boomers” and “Older Adult” educational and recreational programs\, facilitating support groups\, teaching older adults\, training Master level social workers\, and creating and running intergenerational workshops and volunteer programs. \nClick to join at start time | Zoom ID 868 4443 0081 | Passcode 600242\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the ID number above. \n\nWhat does one do when there’s no clearly defined ethical road to take? Exploring Ethical Dilemmas features speakers from a variety of backgrounds — medicine\, law\, business\, science\, education\, the arts\, social work\, etc. — who share their experience and knowledge of ethical issues in those fields. Monthly\, 3rd Monday.
