Save the dates for ethical action! We are again partnering with @beaconrepro.bsky.social to pack 1,000 free emergency contraception and safer sex supply kits on each of the following dates: June 7, August 9, & Sept. 27, at 9:45 am. Let's turn our values into care. #EmpoweredTogether #EthicalAction

Grief takes many forms: a person, a pet, a relationship, a dream, a former version of ourselves, or the life we imagined. #EmpoweredTogether means making space for all of it, meeting one another’s grief with tenderness, patience, and care. #EthicalCulture #HumanistValues

Voting access is a dignity issue. When barriers rise, it’s worth asking who they affect and why.

When the world feels overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to begin. We begin here: With each other. With small acts of care. With a commitment to dignity in everyday life. You don’t have to solve everything to make a difference.

A better world starts with honesty about harm. Protecting human dignity means holding power accountable, every time. We reject narratives that scapegoat marginalized communities while ignoring real sources of harm. We choose truth. We choose accountability. We choose dignity.

On #TransDayOfVisibility, we’re reminded that to be seen is to be recognized as fully human. Ethical Humanism invites us to move beyond awareness into relationship and empathy, honor lived experience, and affirm the dignity and worth of every person without exception. Trans rights are human rights.

A better world can happen through us. Ethical Humanism calls us to live our values: to center dignity, choose compassion, and take responsibility for one another. That’s how stronger communities are built. #EmpoweredTogether

Imagination changes what we’re able to see and who we’re able to become. This Sunday, Jan Kiefer invites us into story as a doorway to empathy. When we imagine differently, we begin to care differently. Join us: www.ethicalstl.org/event/platfo...

Caring for children should never be controversial. Dignity and compassion belong to every child. We're grateful for voices like Ms Rachel's, speaking up for those who cannot.

Normalization of harm reshapes who we become. Ethical resistance begins with attention and leads with action.

Operation Food Search got help with its bread on March 19 when 20 Ethicals Good Deeders sorted and boxed bread, bagels, and buns for local food pantries. Judy Kulczycki is hard at work in the photo. On May 2, we will pick up trash on the Arch grounds under the guidance of Great Rivers Greenway.

Due to record-breaking heat and our cooling system not yet being operational, the Ethical Society building will be closed this Sunday, March 22, for everyone’s safety and comfort. All in-person programming is cancelled. Our Platform will still be shared online at 11 a.m. on YouTube.

👏👏👏

Dolores Huerta’s words remind us that silence around harm has long shaped our world. We affirm our commitment to listening to those who come forward and to working toward cultures of accountability and care. Believing women and survivors is part of ethical action.

We're going to say it louder for the people in the back! 👏

We build a more humane world through everyday acts of connection. Care is a form of courage.

Women have long shaped the moral imagination of our communities. Anna Garlin Spencer reminds us that the measure of civilization is how women are treated. Her voice continues to guide justice, dignity, and belonging. #WomensHistoryMonth #EthicalSTL #Humanism

This Women’s History Month, we honor leaders whose courage, compassion, and vision continue to guide movements for equality, education, democracy, and environmental stewardship. Their work reminds us that a more humane world is something we build together. #WomensHistoryMonth #EthicalSTL #Humanism

Passing pain from one generation to another is not the purpose of society. Let’s break the cycle of suffering instead.
