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.

SUMMARY:Ethics Unplugged on Embodied Pleasure: Ethics and Kink with Maij Vu Mai Pt. 2 (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! \nWatch 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. \nFree and open to the public!\nCOVID-19 Notice: Masks are optional but strongly encouraged.
