As humanists, we value showing respect and care to others, but it seems that offensive or disparaging language, boorish behavior, and other examples of social toxicity have been elevated to “normal.”  Less obvious, but just as damaging, are the microaggressions and more ambiguous erosion of civil social interactions.

In this discussion, we will share situations where we have experienced or witnessed this new reality and explore strategies to address these challenges and live our values. We will also share our experiences, successes, and shortcomings and discuss how we can respond ethically to future situations by drawing on our values and principles while accounting for our vulnerabilities. Through this conversation, we hope to begin a dialogue that helps us strengthen our ethical resolve through our shared wisdom and mutual support.

Our Community Days are programs designed to bring us together to learn, grow, and volunteer. They are open to the public, in-person only, and will not be livestreamed.
