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.
