Lisel Burns, Leader Emeritus of the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture (BSEC) invites us to consider our nation’s historic responsibility for distorted development in Haiti. She proposes ways that members and local Ethical Societies can assist Haitians and Haitian Americans in developing local partnership projects with earthquake-affected Haitian communities. These partnerships can transform communities both here and there. Lisel has been visiting Haiti as a community development organizer since the mid-1990s and BSEC has ongoing support programs in Leogane, at the epicenter of Haiti’s January 2010 earthquake. | ||

The term “social justice” provokes a wide variety of reactions these days. How should Ethical Humanists view it - as an uncontroversial effort to make our political and economic relationships more fair or as a politically charged coercive redistribution of resources? How should we envision and actualize social justice? How radical should we get? Hugh Taft-Morales, Leader, Baltimore Ethical Society and former Leader-Intern at NoVES, explores these questions, guided by Ethical Culture history and his own yearnings to do it justice. | ||

Jone Johnson Lewis, NoVES Leader, will address the tendency in our modern society to look for the "quick fix" to solutions, often at the cost of finding a solution that will actually work. Whether we're talking about personal or interpersonal life, work or politics and social change work, Jone looks at alternatives to jumping in to fix something right away. | ||

NoVES Leader Jone Johnson Lewis looks at modern internet-based social networking options, like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, and considers the ethical aspects of those communication tools. As tools, are they neutral? Do they promote authentic relationship or distract from real community? What are some of the basic principles for using such networks ethically -- which in our terms means to "bring out the best in others and ourselves"?
