Last weekend, we joined the Brooklyn Pride Celebration in two major ways. We had a booth at the Pride Fair in Brooklyn where some of our members helped spread the word about our programs and what we do, and we hosted an “All Ages Decorate for Pride” event. Members and visitors of all ages (truly, our youngest attendee was 2 months old!) created fun decorations for the parade, including giant necklaces, bracelets, decorated bricks in honor of Stonewall, pride fans, and more. A group of members then went to watch the pride parade together, branding our newly made decorations! Thank you to all who attended, who helped us with our booth, and to Angel for her creative ideas for projects.

Saturday, May 2, 2026 Brooklyn Ethical, with a grant from the American Humanist Association, hosted an All Ages Craft Skill Share day, as part of the American Empathy Project. At a time when division and cruelty are being displayed so shamelessly in public life, we are proud to come together, with new friends from 12 different countries, ages 3 to 86 years old, and from all walks of life, to spend time together in community, caring for each other and enjoying the beauty of our diverse community, sharing what we know with each other and enjoying a meal together. Thank you to all who attended, and to all who volunteered to share their skills, helped set up and break down: Mike, Saskia, Angel, Melang, Sarah J., Zoe, Amora, Maya, Raquel, Mikhael, Jasmin, Ruby, Falou, and their helpers, who kindly taught everything from knitting and embroidery to Chinese calligraphy, paper dragons, bracelets made out of can pull tabs, paper beads, Metrocard collages, bracelets made with cereal box looms, paper African beads and several improvised projects.  We hope to make this a regular program in the future.
