SUMMARY:Arguably Better: Video and Discussion\, Continuation of a Series
DESCRIPTION:In July\, we featured the first two videos in a series of videos called “Arguably Better\,” created by Professor Sherman J. Clark\, the Kirkland & Ellis Professor of Law at the University of Michigan. \nThis Sunday\, we will be featuring the third video in this series\, entitled “Arguably Better: Empathy and Thriving.” In this short (under 20 minutes) video\, Professor Clark asks that we “empathetically engage with your opponent (or friend or uncle)\, even when they may not do the same. Why do it then? Because it’s worth it.” \nWe will follow the video with a discussion dissecting Professor Clark’s suggestions\, and consider whether or how much we agree with him. Please consider your own lives and experiences\, and come ready for a lively discussion!! \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.

SUMMARY:Is this it? Entering the “Economic Idiocracy”
DESCRIPTION:John Delafield\, founder and former CEO of Renewable Energy Services\, will talk about renewable energy in three parts: \n1) Where do we find ourselves?\n2) Why are we here?\n3) What are we up against? and why it matters. \nHe will illustrate these points by referencing the Solar Energy industry. \nRenewable Energy Services (RES) has been delivering clean power solutions to U.S. communities since 2013. Based in Durham\, RES has completed dozens of solar-based installations in North and South Carolina as well as Virginia. Many more are being planned. And the projects will not only help reduce carbon emissions. They will provide jobs. John is passionate about the impact of solar energy on the economy because he has the facts. Currently\, the U.S. has about 45\,000 people working in the coal industry\, but six times that many are employed with solar energy. Sticking with fossil fuels rather than solar – a move being championed by the Trump administration – is a losing proposition in John’s opinion. A graduate of UNC\, John has spent years working with community leaders to bring renewable energy solutions and jobs to our towns. \nThis meeting is a Zoom “hybrid” meeting.  We will meet at our regular venue\, Extraordinary Ventures\, where the program will take place.  We will also Zoom the program.    If you wish to attend via Zoom\, please use our contact us form (https://ehstnc.org/contact-us/) to make your request.

SUMMARY:Labor Power Can Beat Facism
DESCRIPTION:Our national organization\, the American Ethical Union\, is sponsoring this talk.  This Labor Day\, the outlook for organized labor power in America is grim. Already\, the Trump administration has decimated the federal work force\, torn up union contracts\, broken our system of labor law enforcement\, and pushed us down the road to fascism and oligarchy. Despite all that\, however\, one fundamental\, structural truth has not changed: Labor power is still one of the only things that can pull us back from this precipice. What would that look like? \nThe talk will be given by Hamilton Nolan.  Hamilton Nolan is an author and journalist who writes about labor\, politics\, and class war. He has written for Gawker\, In These Times\, The Guardian\, and many other publications. Today\, he runs his own site\, How Things Work\, at HamiltonNolan.com. In 2015\, he and his colleagues made Gawker Media the first major online media company in America to unionize. Hamilton has remained a union activist ever since. He is the author of the 2024 book\, The Hammer: Power\, Inequality\, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor. He lives in Brooklyn. \nYou must register to attend this program; here’s the link (below) to register. \nRegister for Labor Power Can Beat Fascism\, Aug 31 All-Societies Platform
