SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Kate Cohen: The Pope\, the President\, and the Problem of Moral Authority
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nWouldn’t it be nice if we had a moral authority to whom we could appeal when we weren’t sure whether something was right or wrong? Or to back us up when we were? In these catastrophic/ridiculous times\, you don’t have to be Catholic to take satisfaction in the Pope’s recent public support of simple decency. But even when the Pope says something self-evidently right\, we have to remind ourselves that morality doesn’t inhere in any one person or text. And that\, perhaps\, our collective desire for such an external authority has helped create the mess we’re in. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nRSVP\n>>RSVP to Join Online via Zoom \n>>RSVP to Join In-Person on Eventbrite \nAbout Kate Cohen\nKate Cohen is a former Washington Post contributing columnist and the author of We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (And Maybe You Should Too)\, which chronicles her journey to outspoken atheism and examines whether nonbelievers can still have the benefits religion promises. For this work and for her columns inspecting American deference to religion\, the Freedom from Religion Foundation honored her with its 2023 “Freethought Heroine” award. She now writes an independent column called Scratch\, about creating — instead of buying or simply accepting — the stuff\, nature\, and purpose of our lives. Follow her on Bluesky and Instagram. \nMonthly Collection\nThe New York Society for Ethical Culture \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. Each Sunday meeting is followed by a luncheon and social hour. \nTo watch previous Sunday Platforms\, visit our Videos page and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Healing Land & People: Gender-Based Violence & Protecting Indigenous Women
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Indigenous women-led discussion around protecting land\, preventing MMIP\, and resisting harms from extractive industries. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a powerful discussion led by young Indigenous women from across the Americas—land defenders\, storytellers\, and advocates—who are protecting their territories and resisting harms from extractive industries. \nHosted by the Human Impacts Institute at the New York Society for Ethical Culture\, this gathering brings together Indigenous women leaders\, community advocates\, and allies for an open conversation about healing relationships with land and community safety through Indigenous-led solutions. Together\, we’ll explore how protecting the land is deeply connected to preventing gender-based violence and the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP). \n>>> FREE! RSVP Here\nMore About This Event\nAs the world shifts toward a “green” energy transition dependent on large-scale mineral extraction\, Indigenous women—especially youth—face escalating threats on the frontlines of these conflicts.

Through intergenerational storytelling\, reflection\, and action-oriented dialogue\, participants will explore how restoring balance with the land also means restoring safety\, sovereignty\, and healing for communities. \nKey Focus Areas\n\nLinks between land dispossession\, extractive industries\, and the MMIP crisis\nIndigenous women’s land stewardship as protection and resistance\nHow sovereignty\, cultural continuity\, and intergenerational knowledge strengthen community safety\nUsing UNDRIP and international frameworks to demand accountability\nBuilding cross-community solidarity for Indigenous women land defenders\n\nExpected Outcomes\n\nCollaborative policy and community action recommendations\nGreater awareness of how climate and extraction impact MMIWG2S+\nShared strategies to protect Indigenous women\, girls\, and 2-spirit people as part of climate justice\n\nSpeakers: \nAdina Farinango (Kichwa-Otavalo) Artist who uses art as an act of resistance\, healing\, and self-expression. \nLily Joy Winder (Diné\, Southern Ute\, African American) Stanford Master’s in Earth Systems | Digital Strategist with 300k+ Followers \nYanenowi Logan (Seneca Nation) Columbia M.S. in Climate | UN Food and Agriculture Organization Indigenous Knowledge Intern \nKianna Pete (Diné )Environmental advocate\, researcher\, and collaborator. | Tribal Conservation Program Fellow | Board Member at American Indian Community House \nCharitie Ropati (Yup’ik & Samoan) Engineer | Climate Advisor to UN Secretary-General | Regional Facilitator @ Youth Climate Justice Fund | UN Women Leader | Forbes 30U30 | Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award \nModerator:\nDelfina Roybal – Indigenous Communications & Social Media Strategist | Columbia University | Phyllis Stevens Sharp Fellow | Founder of Natives for Zohran NYC\, organizing Indigenous New Yorkers toward political self-determination through community surveying and grassroots mobilization. \nAbout The Human Impacts Institute \nThe Human Impacts Institute (HII) is a NYC-founded nonprofit that harnesses arts\, culture\, and community engagement to spark bold climate action.

SUMMARY:Screening & Discussion: 'Broadway\, Bars and Fortune: A Story of Incarceration and Redemption'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free encore screening of the powerful new 40-minute documentary Broadway\, Bars\, and Fortune that highlights the work of our friends at The Fortune Society\, followed by a conversation with director Dr. Shuvendu Sen\, Fortune Society founder David Rothenberg\, and others from the film! \nIn a climate of increasing crime and high recidivism\, an organization chooses a unique path of transformation through arts and theater. \nThis is the story of four formerly incarcerated souls turned actors\, their travails\, their indomitable courage\, and their triumphant return to their lives. \nBroadway\, Bars\, and Fortune is a documentary on courage\, hope\, and arts entwined in an encircling embrace of human bondage. A reminder that formal acceptance and adoption of such measures during the period of incarceration can be life changing and often lifesaving. \nRead more about the film at Theater News and Splashmags. \n>>>RSVP on Eventbrite
