SUMMARY:Cause Celebre Productions Presents: Last Chance Café
DESCRIPTION:FREE for Society Members. Contact staff for the promo code! \nJoin Cause Celebre Productions and the New York Society for Ethical Culture for a staged reading of Last Chance Café\, part of All the World’s a Stage\, a trilogy based on three controversial cases argued by legendary civil rights attorney Marty Garbus. Mr. Garbus was described by The Guardian as “one of the world’s finest trial lawyers.” \nDon’t miss this incredible afternoon of drama\, music\, and the prophetic words of Bob Dylan. The show will be followed by a discussion with Martin Garbus and former NYPD Special Victims Unit Deputy Chief Michael Osgood and a private reception with the panelists. \nStarring Darlene Hope\, Jeremy Webb\, Ian Lithgow\, Gene Castle\, and Michael Citriniti \nWritten by Susan Charlotte\nDirected by Antony Marsellis \nTickets\n>>> $25 – Purchase Tickets on Eventbrite \nAbout Last Chance Café\n“Somebody better investigate soon.” Lyrics from a haunting song provide a Greek chorus throughout this deeply compelling play about voter suppression in the Jim Crow South. The time: the 1960’s. The place: Mississippi. The song: “Oxford Town”\, by a young Bob Dylan. \nThe song was written about James Meredith\, in 1962 the first Black person admitted to the University of Mississippi. Racist riots erupted\, and as Dylan wrote\, “Two men died ‘neath the Mississippi moon.” But\, as Dylan said\, “This could have happened any time.” And it did\, even as Jim Crow was falling. \nIn 1965 the American Civil Liberties Union sent a young lawyer\, Marty Garbus\, to Mississippi to represent Henrietta Wright\, a Black woman in her 30s who was arrested in front of the Last Chance Café\, a small store she owned with her husband. The reason\, Wright was told by the white officers holding shotguns\, was a traffic violation: driving through a stop sign. \nThe real reason: with the Voting Rights Act merely twenty days old\, Mrs. Wright had just registered to vote. \nThis fabricated traffic violation led to a stunning violation of a Black woman’s civil rights: Wright was assaulted\, committed to a state mental hospital based on the lies of two complicit doctors\, and then imprisoned. Immediately after her release\, Wright had the courage to file a complaint with the ACLU and bring a federal lawsuit against the two police officers and two doctors. As Garbus landed in Mississippi\, he thought of James Meredith\, with Dylan’s lyrics reverberating in his mind: “Somebody better investigate soon.” \nGarbus warned Wright that her chances of winning her case were next to nothing\, but they agreed she could still make a defiant stand against white supremacy and for voting rights—and that’s exactly what she did. As Garbus said after\, “The ominous Mississippi night which had so often harbored black men\, hanging from their necks\, the burning Cross\, the vicious beating\, had lost some of its threat for Mr. and Mrs. Wright.” \nSixty years later\, with racism still rampant and the right to vote still under attack\, this play could not be more relevant. \nAbout Playwright Susan Charlotte\nSusan’s multi-faceted career started with Prism Blues. Based on her work as a prison counselor\, the play earned her a place in Columbia’s MFA program and won the prestigious Joseph Kesselring Award. Her 60 full-length & one-act plays have been produced throughout the country. They include: The Shoemaker starring Danny Aiello\, directed by Antony Marsellis; She’s Of A Certain Age; The Round Table (w/ Oscar & Tony winner Peter Stone)\, and When Truth Is Not Enough. Her play\, Love Divided By\, was produced by the Actors Studio and was made into a film with an original score by Philip Glass. The film reopened MoMA’s Titus II theatre. Her other films include: Something Like That\, A Broken Sole\, Come On (Hamptons Film Festival.) Her TV credits include; Did You Know My Husband? with Louise Lasser & Carole Shelley (PBS); The Comedy Zone with Patty Duke & Paul Reiser (CBS); Guiding Light and Loving (CBS). \nSusan authored the acclaimed books Creativity and Creativity In Film and has written for NY Magazine and Playbill. She was also a professor at Columbia U.\, NYU\, and City College. She is the founding artistic director of Food For Thought Productions and Cause Celebre.

SUMMARY:Book Event: Trash: A Garbage Man's Story - Simon Paré-Poupart in Conversation with Robin Nagle
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Board\, this free event will feature Simon Paré-Poupart\, author of the acclaimed Trash: A Garbage Man’s Story\, in conversation with Robin Nagle\, anthropologist-in-residence at the New York City Department of Sanitation since 2006 and author of Picking Up. \n>>> Space is limited! RSVP HERE\nTrash! has been described as a fascinating\, no-bullshit account of two decades in the waste industry\, offering a vivid portrait of the heroic labor\, anarchic spirit\, and often violent conditions experienced by the people who keep our cities clean. \nSimon Paré-Poupart began working as a garbageman to pay for school. After earning graduate degrees\, he pursued careers in more “respectable” professions\, yet ultimately found himself back on the truck—drawn by the physical intensity of the work\, the camaraderie of his rough-and-tumble colleagues\, and a sense of honesty and freedom that no other job had provided. \nRobin Nagle’s Picking Up is an ethnography of New York City’s Department of Sanitation based on more than a decade of work with the Department\, including time serving as a uniformed sanitation worker. In addition to her role with DSNY\, Nagle is a Clinical Professor of Anthropology and Environmental Studies in New York University’s School of Liberal Studies. She describes her scholarship as part of the emerging interdisciplinary field of discard studies. Learn more about Robin at robinnagle.com. \nThe event promises a lively conversation between two authors who approach waste management from remarkably similar yet distinctly different perspectives. Their discussion will explore not only the realities of sanitation work\, but also the broader cultural\, social\, and human dimensions of the systems that keep our cities functioning every day.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Tinia R. Merriweather: Why Teaching Ethics Matters Now More Than Ever
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nIn times like these\, we need Ethics. With traumatic headlines filling our social media newsfeeds\, scrolling the bottom of our tv screens\, buzzing our phones\, and crowding our already overwhelmed minds\, it can be challenging to remain hopeful about the future. Yet\, the study and practice of Ethics can ground us in principles that we can apply to imagine and build the world where everyone’s humanity is respected and protected. In the Ethics classroom\, we can lean into respectful discourse and multiple perspectives\, which will help us to co-create a better\, safer\, more equitable\, and more just world for all. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nRSVP to Join on Zoom \nAbout Tinia R.

Join us for a conversation with four members of our Youth Climate Corps as they reflect on what they have learned through hands-on work in environmental restoration\, civic engagement\, and community leadership.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Sunday Platform with Curt Collier: Why America's Best Ideas Lead to Our Worst Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Notice: Today’s talk by Leader Curt Collier has been postponed. Instead\, we’ll hold a discussion led by Society Trustee Dr. Carolyn Parker. Due to technical limitations preventing remote participation\, this will be in-person only\, with no Zoom livestream. \nCome early for free bagels and coffee! \n*** \nFew ideas have shaped the American experiment more deeply than individualism\, self-reliance\, and the ideal of freedom from government interference. These values helped expand religious liberty\, free speech\, innovation\, and the protection of individual rights\, creating extraordinary opportunities for human flourishing. Yet the same traditions can also foster isolation\, unchecked inequality\, exploitation\, and even open the door to authoritarian movements that promise order amid social fragmentation. \nThis talk explores the double-edged legacy of American freedom and asks a timely question: How do we preserve the liberties that have strengthened our democracy while cultivating the responsibilities and institutions that allow a free society to endure? \nCommunity lunch returns in September. \nMonthly Collection\nThe New York Society for Ethical Culture \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Curt Collier: How to be Gay (Even if You're Not a Homosexual)
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nAt a time when many people still struggle to live openly and authentically\, “How to Be Gay: Even If You Are Not a Homosexual” explores a deeper and more universal question: what can all of us learn from those who have had to fight simply for the right to exist as themselves? \nDrawing from the writings\, reflections\, and lived experiences of gay thinkers\, activists\, and ordinary people\, this talk examines how the struggle for self-acceptance often produces profound insights into courage\, identity\, dignity\, community\, and freedom. More than a talk about sexuality\, this is a conversation about becoming fully human — about resisting shame\, rejecting conformity\, standing up for the humanity of others\, and discovering what becomes possible when people refuse to hide who they are. \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nRSVP to Join on Zoom \nMonthly Collection\nThe New York Society for Ethical Culture \nAbout Sunday Platform\nSunday Platform is our most important and long-standing community event.

SUMMARY:Keanu Arpels-Josiah: Takeaways from the First International Conference on the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels
DESCRIPTION:Join youth climate justice organizer Keanu Arpels-Josiah as he reflects on his recent return from The First International Conference on Transitioning Away From Fossil Fuels in Santa Marta\, Colombia\, and what it means for how our movements here in New York City move forward. \nThe conference was hosted in late April in Santa Marta\, Colombia\, as a space for committed governments\, civil society\, youth\, and indigenous leaders to come together and chart a future beyond fossil fuels. For civil society\, the clear thread was the implication of the broader systems of imperialism\, patriarchy\, and extractivism\, whose end is necessary for such a transition away from fossil fuels to be possible — and whose biggest enforcer remains to be the United States. \nJoin Keanu Arpels-Josiah\, 350 NYC\, Third Act NYC\, Sane Energy Project\, Sunrise Movement NYC\, Fridays For Future NYC\, and The New York Society for Ethical Culture as he reflects on these very takeaways and the path forward for our movements. \n>>>RSVP Here

SUMMARY:Sunday Platform with Daniel Wortel-London: 'The Beloved Economy: Ethical Economic Thought and the Rebuilding of Community'
DESCRIPTION:Free in-person and online! \nWhat is the economy? At its most basic\, it’s how we meet our material needs. But some of these methods have come at a profound cost—fracturing communities\, degrading environments\, and concentrating wealth at the expense of shared flourishing. Drawing on historical and contemporary research\, this talk explores a different tradition: ethical economic thinking that centers community\, care\, and democratic participation. What would it mean to build an economy we actually love—one that serves people and places\, not just growth? \nCommunity lunch follows\, free for first-time guests and families participating in the Young Ethical Explorers Program. \nJoin Online\nRSVP to Join on Zoom \nAbout Daniel Wortel-London\nDaniel Wortel-London\, Ph.D. is a historian\, policy researcher\, and Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Bard College.
