Opening the Door for Democracy with YVote (Why Vote)

Zoom

ALL Society Presentation NOTE: 11:00-12:00 ET

“YVote is creating a youth-led civic movement. We equip young people to channel their passions into positive action—at and beyond the ballot box.”

Sanda Balaban, co-founder of YVote, and Audrey Kindred, of the NYSEC will present on how they collaborate to bring Voter and civic engagement activities to hundreds of youth in ongoing democracy reinforcing programs. They will show how other Ethical Societies can do similar civics / voter actions.

The program will include youth who will tell of their concerns and how YVote has prepared them for action and leadership.

Colloquy

Zoom

Colloquy is an opportunity to explore and reflect on a particular aspect of life in a structured and facilitated small-group setting in a nonjudgmental, confidential atmosphere. Colloquy was created more than 25 years ago by Arthur Dobrin (now Leader Emeritus of the Ethical Society of Long Island) and brought to Asheville by Joy McConnell, Consulting Leader for the Ethical Humanist Society of Asheville. Colloquy inspires participants to raise awareness of their own views, emotions and values. Guided by a facilitator, participants listen to a topic read by the leader, and take turns sharing responses – speaking from personal experiences, thoughts and feelings.

Understanding: The Assignment by Dr. Je’ Exodus Hooper

Friends Meeting House 227 Edgewood Rd, Asheville, NC

The history of the Ethical Culture Movement had been a long journey of uncertainty and unprecedented ideas. Dr. Felix Adler, although well educated and informed, made up this philosophical and religious formation each and everyday. In this platform, we will seek to appreciate and explore uncertainty, seek meaning, be generators of ideas and agents of change. You are the assignment: you matter. You shape your role, your assignment.
