11:00 am: Science March San Jose


April 22, 2017

March For Science Silicon Valley

San Jose City Hall, 200 E Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113

Come join the Science March in San Jose!  We will gather with others at City Hall and begin marching at 11 am to Plaza de Cesar Chavez.  Show up wearing your Ethical Culture t-shirt!  There will be a festival in the plaza at noon with food, a science fair, and other family-friendly activities.

The March for Science Silicon Valley celebrates the crucial role science plays in driving our economic growth, preserving out environment, and protecting the health of our communities.  We unite as a diverse, nonpartisan group to call for policymakers to champion and fund science that upholds the common good and to advocate to evidence-based policies in the public interest at the local, state, and national levels.  This event is sponsored by March for Science Silicon Valley.

10:30 am: Book Group


April 23, 2017

Ethical Culture Book Group

Greenmeadow Room @ Mitchell Park Library, 3700 Middlefield Rd., Palo Alto, CA 94303

Over the past few months, several Ethical Culture members have expressed an interest in starting an Ethical Culture Bookclub. For this first meeting, the main objective is to gauge interest and decide on the first few books to read for upcoming meetings, so please bring along a few suggestions (ethics related books of course).

This probably won’t take the whole 90 minutes, so for those interested in having a discussion in the remaining time, we thought it might be nice to have a journal club (since there isn’t too much time to read a whole book between now and Sunday). We thought perhaps this article would be a good short discussion piece:

It’s OK to just show up, but it always helps to know how many people to expect. You can RSVP via our Meetup page if you have a Meetup account, or contact us by email or this site’s contact form .

2:30 pm: SiVIC Panel Discussion


April 30, 2017

I Am The Other: Countering Stereotypes, Religious Illiteracy, and Hate Crimes

In the wake of recent hate crimes against the Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, and Sikh communities, we’ve witnessed an increase in ignorance and stereotypes that have lead to violent attacks and dangerous misrepresentations that cause great harm to minority communities. Just in the past few months, a Sikh man in Kent, Washington was attacked, while there have been a string of anti-Semitic incidents and bomb threats to Jewish centers across the country.

Join the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council (SiVIC) and the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) on Sunday, April 30, 2017 for a diverse interfaith panel discussion to address the important issues that are currently facing minority religious communities in the U.S.

Location: Fremont Hindu Temple and Community Center, 3676 Delaware Drive, Fremont, CA 94538. More details can be found on the SiVIC web site .
