All Society Platform:
Sources of Hope: Values from Our Past as We Build the Future

Watch on youtube here: https://youtu.be/uBXPAHpnqoU

This 106th Assembly of the American Ethical Union has addressed “the whole truth about America” where history has been triumphant for some and traumatic for others. How do we understand and reconcile such disparity? As we truthfully acknowledge imperfection and injustice, we also confront challenges that lie ahead and commit to building a more just and humane nation for all.  Let us also recognize underlying ethical values that animate efforts, throughout our history, to create “a more perfect union,” to elicit goodness from diverse peoples, to find and demonstrate hope.

We gather today virtually from across the country and around the world, something that was inconceivable when our nation began or when Felix Adler founded Ethical Culture in 1876.  Let us envision together and commit to building a nation of equity, decency, and compassion.  We will hear from future Ethical Culture Leaders who represent the future and inspire hope as we embrace the tasks ahead.

Speakers:
Anne Klaeysen, Leader Emerita, New York Society for Ethical Culture
Robert Berson, Leader, Northern Westchester Society
Future Ethical Culture Leaders Greg Bonin, Christian Hayden, Louise Jett, and Sarah Tielemanns
Liz Collier, Chair, AEU Leadership Committee

Jean Rohe

Jean Rohe began touring and recording with her band, honing a honeyed, far-ranging voice and collecting accolades along the way (“a sure-footed young singer-songwriter,” says the New York Times.) Most recently, her sophomore record, Sisterly, won Best Adult Contemporary Album at the 2019 Independent Music Awards. Rohe also garnered attention for her unflinching alternative anthem for the United States, “National Anthem: Arise! Arise!” which continues to be performed and recorded by choirs and bands across the country, and was published in the Rise Up Singing songbook sequel.
