We are a small group of Chicago and Chicago area Humanists. In some Humanist Circles we talk about big issues and in others we talk about our day or week.

Watch this: a New Yorker video documentary, “Becoming Victoria Confino”, about the actors who improv as a 14-year-old Sephardic girl who lived in the building of the Tenement Museum in 1916.

If anyone had a right to question whether our democracy was worth redeeming, it was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Because in the face of billy clubs and lynchings, poll taxes and literacy tests, he never gave in to violence, never waved a traitorous flag or gave up on our country.

Is #TomCotton asserting that the means, that is, the enslavement of millions for more than a century, were justified by the ends, that is, the postwar US? Isn’t that a horrific calculus? What does that say about his #moralcompass? We’re just asking.
The AR Rep. senator Tom Cotton has called the enslavement of millions of African people “the necessary evil upon which the union was built.”
This is a disgusting, immoral view. We expect better from elected officials.

Many immigrants are simultaneously both “essential” and “illegal.” They are required to work, and their employers are forbidden from employing them.
How are states and local governments dealing with this contradiction? #EssentialWorkers

In Barack Obama's inspiring essay about the violence in the recent protests over George Floyd's death and police brutality, he talks about organizing, voting, and demanding change through police reform and criminal justice.

“The symbolism of him holding a Bible … as a prop and standing in front of our church as a backdrop when everything that he has said is antithetical to the teachings of our traditions and what we stand for as a church—I was horrified.” -- Rt. Rev. Budde religionnews.com/2020/06/02/…
"We must reckon with our broken criminal justice system, which prioritizes an illusion of safety conjured by the presence of heavily-armed police over the reality of justice, which only humane community-based solutions can provide. " from today's American #EthicalUnion statement
We must reckon with our own complicity in a system which has prioritized white lives over black lives for centuries, and take to the streets, engage in the political process and, when necessary, protest for change.
