Assembly to Revitalize Democracy: May 1-4, 2014

There is an undeniable growing divide in our country between the rich and
the poor which is undermining our democracy. Political decision-making must be
based on the premise of one citizen/one vote, not on who can round up the
richest backer. Join us at our Assembly Revitalizing Democracy! Money, Power and
Politics
co-sponsored by the Ethical Humanist Society of Chicago and
the American Ethical Union. Keynote
speaker, Jack Altschuler, shows how
we can move forward in “a system that keeps participants entrenched in
paralysis.” Workshop presenters include Chicago alderman Joe Moore, ethical education author and director Dale McGowan, academic researcher and
writer Ron Baiman, and Michael Greenman, moderator of a
caucus to amend the constitution. Come early on Thursday,
May 1 to participate in a Pre-Conference Social Action Project with the Midwest
Workers Association. We will be providing resources to low-income communities.
At the Society’s Coffeehouse http://ethicalhuman.org/Coffeehouse/coffeehouse.html Friday, May 2 they will host a special edition of their popular Prairie
State Companion featuring Rachel Baiman, Nashville-based fiddler and recording
artist. Registration is open now online and visit the AEU Assembly website for
