SUMMARY:Colloquy
DESCRIPTION: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. It is held on the First Sunday of the month from 2:30 to 4:00 pm. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, we will meet online -live!  Join on Zoom \nColloquy 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.

Guided by a facilitator\, participants sit in a circle\, listen to a topic read by the leader\, and take turns sharing responses – speaking from personal experiences\, thoughts and feelings. \nExamples of recent topics include: honesty\, friendship\, generosity\, anger\, forgiveness\, music that defines us\, “This I Believe.” \nVisitors are welcome.

SUMMARY:"Reparations" by Dr. Dwight Mullen
DESCRIPTION:Click to Access Video Recording \n“Reparations” will be presented by Dr. Dwight Mullen at the Sunday\, April 16\, 2023 meeting of the Ethical Humanist Society of Asheville\, 2:30 – 4:00 pm at 227 Edgewood Rd\, Asheville\, NC. This will be a hybrid meeting\, in-person and also available for interactive conversation by Zoom. All are welcome to attend. \nJoin Dr. Dwight Mullen\, Chair of the City of Asheville and Buncombe County Community Reparations Commission and retired UNC-Asheville professor\, to learn about the history\, purpose\, process and challenges faced by the commission. The commission\, with about 25 all-black members\, is not only focused on historical injustice but also present-day disparities and policies that still pose a problem. Reparations does not necessarily mean a check\, although that is not off the table. Based on the International Center for Transitional Justice\, reparations could include “civil and political rights\, physical rehabilitations\, and granting access to land\, housing\, health care\, or education.” \nDr. Dwight Mullen\, taught courses in public policy\, American politics\, and African and African-American politics. His scholarly activities included panels chaired and papers presented at meetings of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists; overseeing research projects covering the State of Black Asheville; and serving in local\, state\, national\, and international capacities that aim to improve the delivery of public services to underserved populations.

Meet the lawyer and some of the youth plaintiffs in the upcoming lawsuit  Held v. State of Montana\, the first-ever constitutional and children’s climate trial in U.S. history – which will begin on June 12th in Helena\, Montana. \nOn March 13\, 2020\, 16 young people from across the state of Montana filed their constitutional climate lawsuit against the state\, asserting that by supporting a fossil fuel-driven energy system\, Montana is violating their constitutional rights to a clean and healthful environment\, to seek safety\, health and happiness\, and to individual dignity and equal protection of the law. \nEthical Culture families will explore together how to empower our youngsters to speak up and speak out\, and to show them a path forward that is empowering and grounded in our beliefs. \nAfter hearing from Our Children’s Trust\, we invite you all to stay for our breakout rooms where we will discuss what we learned and the steps we can take towards achieving climate justice. \nAbout Our Children’s Trust\nOur Children’s Trust (OCT) is a non-profit\, public-interest law firm that provides campaign-based\, legal services to youth from diverse backgrounds to secure their legal rights to a safe climate. \nRSVP at: http://vh9d.2.vu/aprasp
