At our next TED salon, we will listen to activist and fundraiser Dan Pallotta challenge us to change the way we think about changing the world. Join us to discuss his "Charity Redux."

I aMichael and Jim Ryan May 2013lmost didn’t go. After all, I have been at the state capitol plenty of times this legislative session. But my activist son insisted that it would be a historic occasion. And indeed it was! It turned out to be an exhilarating experience to be at the capitol on Thursday, May 9 and Monday, May 13 when the Minnesota House and Senate respectively voted to broaden the legal definition of marriage to include gay and lesbian couples. It was great to run into many friends and acquaintances, including fellow happy humanists, Michael and Jim Ryan, shown here.

capitolDemocracy is built upon the humanist conviction that we humans alone are responsible for our destiny—not merely our own individual destiny but that of our communities, states, nations and world (at least for the short-term, evolutionarily speaking). Every citizen should be engaged in our common civic lives--but humanists should  be especially conscientious about our public duties.
