Over an old black and white photo of Congress in session reads text: All-Societies Platform, Saving Democracy: A Conversation with Julia Angwin

Award-winning investigative journalist, bestselling author, and New York Times contributing Opinion Writer Julia Angwin will dialogue with Ethical Culture Societies around the country about what we are doing to effectively resist and reverse the current slide into authoritarian government, and how to work together to do it better. The Ethical Culture Society of Bergen County hosts this All-Societies Platform with 22 Societies across the country.

Join us. Our community welcomes you.

  • Join the crafters of Ethical Society of Austin for our monthly Yarn 'N' Yak. We craft and we yak, sometimes at the same time. Any craft is welcome so long as it is public library appropriate. Find us at Howson Branch, Austin Public Library in Room 1. 2500 Exposition Blvd.

  • The purpose of Colloquy is to help participants, in a communal setting, “delve more deeply into the depths of their own being and to develop the habit of self-reflection, to live in a closer conformity to their stated beliefs and to find a source of inspiration.”

    During a Colloquy, participants reflect on a theme introduced by a facilitator. Sharing about the session’s theme often promotes deeper insight.

    After the program, there will be a pot luck luncheon.

    This is a hybrid meeting. Please join us at 5604 Manor Rd, or on Zoom.

  • Perfect is the enemy of good. Sometimes as humans we focus on where we fall short, but in much of life, it is better to put in an imperfect effort than no effort at all. Rebecca Fisher, President of the Ethical Society of Austin Board of Trustees will lead us in a conversation about engaging in protest, even when we don’t feel like we can do enough.

    This will be a virtual meeting.

  • This will be a hybrid meeting
