SUMMARY:Calling 7th-9th graders and family for Healthy Sexuality!
DESCRIPTION:The Youth Academy of UUCC is slightly modifying the OWL program in order to meet the requests of potential participants.  The 7th-9th grades OWL program includes 26 workshops.  This is a significant time commitment from teens who are often active in school and afterschool activities. We did not get enough youth to commit to the entire program for the 2024-2025 year.  So we are adapting by offering a Healthy Sexuality program based on the Our Whole Lives curriculum on Sunday evenings.  It will run from January 2025 through May of 2025.  If you know any youth in your circles who may be interested in participating please pass the flyer onto them.

SUMMARY:School Vouchers: What’s the Effect on Public and Private Education?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Dan Heintz\, Cleveland Hts.-University Hts. School Board Member\, Chardon Teacher\, and Steering Committee Member of the Vouchers Hurt Ohio coalition; other speaker TBD \n\n\n\nSince the late 1990’s Ohio’s voucher system has increased access to state-funded school scholarships.  Previously\, eligibility was  primarily based  on a family’s income or a school’s academic performance.  Since 2023’s dramatic voucher expansion\, most K-12 students are eligible for scholarship assistance to both private and parochial schools. Do these school  choice programs create a competitive educational marketplace?  Or are the school vouchers unconstitutional\, given the use of public tax funds for private and religious education? Currently l/3 of Ohio’s public schools are financed by the school voucher program.

SUMMARY:Antisemitism: What Gave it Birth? What Sustains It? How To Eliminate It?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Rabbi Roger Klein\, Congregation Mishkan Or\, a new synagogue community of The Temple-Tifereth Israel and Anshe Chesed Fairmount Temple.    \n\n\n\nWhile the origins of antisemitism lie in factors as diverse as the crucifixion of Jesus and rules restricting occupations and land ownership\, today’s prejudices are fueled by different factors. What sustains these toxic attitudes\, and what strategies may mitigate them? \n\n\n\nThis forum does not focus on the Israel/Palestine conflict\, but rather an old animus that seems to have re-emerged at a time many of us had thought it ending.  \n\n\n\nNote: This is rescheduled from the canceled December 15 program.  \n\n\n\nIn person in UUCC’s Fellowship Hall\, 21600 Shaker Blvd in Shaker Hts.or via ZOOM

SUMMARY:Resistance Fair 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Resistance Fair is a gathering of organizations and groups working every day to bring our values to life – protecting our democracy\, targeted communities\, our environment\, Immigration\, reproductive rights\, and the work of many non-profit organizations who serve us in meaningful ways.  As we look toward the next four years of attacks on all we hold sacred and meaningful\, now is the time to unify\, organize and act……together.  It’s important for all of us to know what is happening locally and what actions we can take proactively in a positive\, strategic way. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLocation: Cleveland Heights High School\, 13263 Cedar Rd. Cleveland Heights 44118. \n\n\n\nif you are a UUCC member planning to attend this Resistance Fair event\, please be mindful of opportunities for our congregation to partner with organizations beyond inviting individual volunteerism. Consider asking questions like\, “What does your organization need from community partners?”  \n\n\n\nAnd if the answer is that they just need more volunteers\, ask what specific commitments would be helpful. Do they need people to build houses\, send postcards\, or teach skills? The more you can bring back about the needs of organizations that impress you and align with our congregation’s values\, the more easily we can discern where fruitful relationships might be nurtured.

SUMMARY:Presidential Voting Systems: Is the Electoral College the Best Method?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert Alexander\, PhD\, Political Science\, Founding Director\, Bowling Green State University Democracy and Public Policy Research Network \n\n\n\nThe US Constitution dictates the Electoral College must determine the President and Vice President. Thus\, each state has the same number of electors as members of Congress.  In 2000 and 2016\, the Presidential Election produced a winner via Electoral College votes but not popular votes.   There is\, however\, a variation in determining state electors.  Maine and Nebraska use a strategic population-based method to determine their electoral votes in each congressional district. Can their strategy be used in other states to create election winners based on the popular vote? Are there other possibilities? \n\n\n\nIn person in UUCC’s Fellowship Hall\, 21600 Shaker Blvd in Shaker Hts.or via ZOOM
