• Attend the 22nd Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit (Saturday, January 25, 2020)
  The 22nd Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit is happening on Jan 25th. The theme this year is 1492-2020: Decolonize Our Histories to Reclaim Our Humanity.  (Note: this is not a PFC-produced event although one of our Board members will be speaking - see below.)  The Summit’s goal is to underscore the necessity and importance of critically re-evaluating our respective histories, specifically colonization, how it has caused widespread dehumanization and exploitation throughout global and local history, and its link to modern racial justice issues. Workshops and panels will confront historical and modern racial issues, including social, economic, political, immigration, and environmental justice. Here is the link to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/22nd-annual-pittsburgh-racial-justice-summit-tickets-86131097431 PRJS is seeking volunteers for a few different roles: registration, set-up, clean-up, room monitors, etc. If you are interested in any of these roles please send an email to info@pittsburghracialjusticesummit.org Date and Time: Sat, January 25, 2020 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST Location: Pittsburgh Theological Seminary 616 N Highland Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15206 PFC Board member Alex Jackson will be giving a talk in the morning on big data and racial bias: " How our colonized past influences the algorithms of our future." Alex explains: data is being collected, analyzed, and implemented in every corner of our lives, and machine learning is changing the way we make decisions. However, these new technologies have not gone uninfluenced from a history of discrimination against people of color. We will look at specific case examples of algorithms and the most dangerous areas in health, criminal justice, and education where they are being implemented. We will then discuss avenues for ethical AI, how machine learning could be used for good, and how individuals and concerned groups can get more information.
• Planned Parenthood Volunteer Training Session (Saturday, January 25, 2020)
  The activism committee is excited to announce a volunteering partnership with our local Planned Parenthood! With reproductive health under attack across the country, it is more important than ever to support local organizations fighting to provide health care to everyone who needs it. Attacks by obtuse anti-abortionists outside clinics are on the rise, and we plan on doing our part to combat this by volunteering as escorts, helping women get safely from the sidewalk to the clinic.  Interested in being part of the PFC Planned Parenthood Volunteer team? There are two easy steps. Go to this link -  https://doodle.com/poll/ucqkpewqub2uz7r8 - and mark 1.) that you are available for a two hour volunteer training from 10 am to 12 pm on Jan. 25th and 2.) your availability for other Saturday mornings in coming months.   Please read the information on the poll carefully and let me know if you have any questions. After completing the training, you are free to volunteer on your own as often as you want, but we would like to go as a coordinated PFC group at least once a month for the entire year!  Thank you for dedicating your time to protect women's reproductive rights!
• Anti-Racism Workshop, Session 1 (Sunday, January 26, 2020)
  Anti-Racism: Doing the Work! You are invited to join Pittsburgh Freethought Community/First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh Joint Workshops on understanding racism and white privilege.

We ask that participants commit to reading the assigned material. We strongly encourage participants to attend all sessions, however each session covers a separate topic and will be open to all. All sessions will take place in the Undercroft Gallery at First Unitarian Church, 605 Morewood Avenue, Pittsburgh PA 15213 Session #1 - Understanding Racism and White Privilege - January 26, 2020, 1 to 3 PM Racism is the combination of bias against Black people with the use of power. Although we understand race to be a social construct without any rational basis, racism is a systemic, pervasive, destructive force throughout our society. A detailed description of each session along with assigned readings will be distributed to each person who registers for the workshop.
• Science Skeptics Book Club: Happy Money, The science … E. Dunn, M. Norton (Sunday, January 26, 2020)
  Happy Money, The Science of Happier Spending. Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton. This is a good, very short, easy to read book and appropriate to thinking how we all might make ourselves happier in 2020. Most people get help on how to earn, save and invest their money. When it comes to spending, most follow their intuition, but research shows these intuitions are often wrong. The authors outline five principles as to how you can get more happiness for your money, from choosing experience over stuff to spending money on others. Our library system has 10 copies. Available at Amazon Used for $2.00. Note: this is a new time (1:30 PM) and new location from the past. 2019 was a whirlwind with changing locations. I’m hoping we like this one for all of 2020.

• World Science Day (Tuesday, November 10, 2020)
  World Science Day for Peace and Development is an international day that highlights the important role that science has in society and is celebrated each year on November 10. It also highlights the need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging scientific issues. World Science Day was proclaimed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2001 and celebrated for the first time in 2002.By linking science more closely with society, World Science Day aims to ensure that citizens are kept informed of developments in science. It also underscores the role scientists play in broadening our understanding of the planet we call home and in making our societies more sustainable.The objectives of World Science Day for Peace and Development are to:Strengthen public awareness on the role of science for peaceful and sustainable societies;Promote national and international solidarity for shared science between countries;Renew national and international commitment for the use of science for the benefit of societies;Draw attention to the challenges faced by science and raising support for the scientific endeavour.Individuals and institutions around the world are encouraged to organize an event or activity on World Science Day, including government officials, students, the media and school pupils. World Science Day for Peace and Development has generated many concrete projects, programmes and funding for science around the world. It has also helped foster cooperation between scientists living in regions marred by conflict, one example being the UNESCO-supported creation of the Israeli-Palestinian Science Organization (IPSO).
