SUMMARY:Saving Afghans\, One Girl at a Time: Interview with Meg Chapman and Sr. Catherine Patten
DESCRIPTION:In-person and online! \nFor our platform on May 21\, Leader Joe Chuman will be interviewing Meg Chapman\, Member and former President of the Society\, on a program she is leading to bring five imperiled Afghan girls to safety in New York. The girls\, who are musicians\, artists\, and aspiring scientists\, fled Kabul when their schools were closed and destroyed by the Taliban. Meg will be joined by Sister Catherine Patten\, R.S.H.M.\, Ph.D.\, a trustee of Marymount Manhattan College who is working to create placements for the girls in schools in New York City. \nThe girls currently reside in Pakistan\, where their situation is unstable\, and seek to come to the United States so that they can continue their education. They would like to complete high school and college\, both of which are forbidden for girls in current day Afghanistan. \nMeg has long been involved in supporting Afghan children\, including since the takeover in August 2022. Her focus has been on women and girls who have been oppressed and are endangered. Meg will begin by examining the situation women currently face in Afghanistan\, and then turn to the specifics of this rescue effort. \nWe’re pleased to work with Meg on this important initiative that has brought together educators and others\, and this Platform will launch the Ethical Society’s active support in this life saving effort. \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.

SUMMARY:Ethics Unplugged on Embodied Pleasure: Ethics and Kink with Maij Vu Mai (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Notice: This week’s session will be online-only. \nAt this week’s Ethics Unplugged we’ll be joined by Maij Vu Mai\, also known as Jinx\, who will discuss with us the ethics and values of the sex-kink culture and BDSM community. \nMaij Vu Mai\, also known as Jinx (they/he/sib/homie/fam) is a powerful Black Viet Trans Queer Neurodivergent MaGe who is devoted to creating radical healing spaces where marginalized folks (primarily Queer & Trans/Gender Expansive folks\, Black folks\, Folks of Color\, Disabled folks\, Neurodivergent/expansive folks\, & Sluts/ Sex/ Sensuality Practitioners) can tap into their own alchemical power and knowledge ecosystems. \nFeaturing music by Lindsey Wilson! \nIn-person and online! Join 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. This month we’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. 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. \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: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
