SUMMARY:Lifting Every Voice: Democratic Engagement Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The Democratic Engagement Dialogue Series invites participants into a collective exploration of the meaning and power of democracy\, inclusion\, and collaboration as a choice\, a way of thinking\, and a way of life. Together\, we will examine strategies for engaging in dialogue that transcends disagreement\, promotes belonging\, leverages our diversity\, and strengthens democratic participation. Participants will also consider concrete actions they can take to foster democracy\, inclusion\, and collaboration within their own communities and organizations.  \nWhen technology is rapidly reshaping how we learn\, work\, communicate\, and engage in civic life\, this session will explore a timely and important question: How do we lift every voice in a democracy increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence? This September 17 conversation will be facilitated by Shana Pote\, a doctoral candidate\, educator\, executive coach\, and researcher whose work examines how emerging technologies influence human judgment\, knowledge\, learning\, and institutions.  \nTo learn more and to register\, please click HERE \nLifting Every Voice will convene virtually on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 3pm-4:40pm – \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSep 17\, 2026 03:00 PM\nOct 15\, 2026 03:00 PM\nNov 19\, 2026 03:00 PM\nDec 17\, 2026 03:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:A New Interpretation of an Old Story
DESCRIPTION:Paul and Mary Liz Stewart\, independent researchers\, bring their seminal research on the Underground Railroad movement to the public. The Underground Railroad\, often remembered as being characterized by tunnels\, dark of night escapes\, coded language and hidey-holes\, was far more extensive and complex than these ideas have led us to believe.  In the midst of significant pro-slavery sentiment\, New York State was home to many abolitionists working to abolish the institution of slavery in our state and nation and it was visited by many who had escaped enslavement and sought a life of freedom. \nJoin with the Stewarts as they share a new interpretation of a very old story and explain the various initiatives in which Underground Railroad Education Center is engaged as it works to connect the public with this local history and its relevance for us today. \nWalk-ins welcome. Registration preferred. \nQuestions? Email Education@HonestWeight.coop \nClick HERE to view the Honest Weight Food Coop calendar of events

SUMMARY:National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum - 2026 Induction
DESCRIPTION:Four 19th century abolitionists will be inducted into the Abolition Hall of Fame on Saturday\, Oct. 24 in Peterboro. \n\n\nTo honor the three-year Commemoration of the Abolition of Enslavement in New York State by the Underground Railroad Consortium of New York\, NAHOF has selected four prominent NYS abolitionists for this year’s induction class. \n\n\nSince the 2026 theme of the commemoration focuses on New York as a hotbed of abolition\, it seemed appropriate to honor the careers of these dedicated abolitionists whose work was carried out primarily in this state. \n\n\n\nThe honorees are: \n\n\nWilliam Wells Brown (1814-1884) \n\nBrown was a formerly enslaved person from Kentucky and Missouri who made his way to freedom in the North. Relocating to Buffalo he operated a steamship that carried freedom seekers to safety in Canada. Brown became one of the most prominent authors and orators in the anti-slavery movement. His narrative\, entitled William Wells Brown: A Fugitive Slave\, was an immediate success and brought the horrors of enslavement to the forefront of American consciousness. He later worked in Boston and in England. His fictional account of the Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings relationship\, in which he wrote about the victimization of black women\, was the first novel written by an African American to be published. \n\n\nWilliam Jay (1789-1858) \n\n\nThe son of American Founding Father John Jay\, William served as a judge for twenty-two years\, until he was removed from the bench in 1842 because of his anti-slavery views. His career in abolition activities began in the late 1820’s when he started to organize other Westchester\, NY abolitionists to aid freedom seekers escaping slavery and free black people who were wrongfully imprisoned and at risk of being sold into slavery. He provided shelter for freedom seekers as they made their way north. He helped to found the American Anti-Slavery Society\, edited its publications\, and served on its Executive Committee. He also co-founded the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. He worked against the gag rule adopted by Congress and worked with many prominent abolitionists\, forging an enduring and productive bond with Gerrit Smith. \n\n\n\n\nJohn Jay II (1817-1894) \n\n\nJay’s abolition career was inspired by the work of his father\, William Jay\, and his grandfather. As a college student he engaged with other abolitionists. He began to practice law and soon put all of his professional energy toward the cause of abolition by defending freedom seekers who had escaped the south via the Underground Railroad. He won freedom for several individuals and helped them settle into their new life afterwards. Jay became increasingly involved in the Underground Railroad\, and worked closely with Stephen and Harriet Meyers’ Albany network. He also became involved in political action with the anti-slavery Free Soil Party and was one of the founders of the Republican Party. John Jay II worked tirelessly to not only end the practice of enslavement\, but also to end racist practices and discrimination in society. \n\n\nSamuel Ringgold Ward (1817-1866?) \n\n\nWard escaped from enslavement on the eastern shore of Maryland. He was a celebrated orator and pastored many upstate New York churches. As a lecturer for the American Anti-Slavery Society\, he traveled to numerous locations to speak out against enslavement. He had connections with Gerrit Smith and Frederick Douglass\, and lived in Peterboro for a time. He was nominated to be Smith’s vice-presidential running mate on the Liberty Party ticket in 1848\, becoming the first African American man nominated for a national political office. Ward visited many states to condemn the Fugitive Slave Law and was a participant in the Jerry Rescue in Syracuse in 1851. Ward was also the editor of abolitionist newspapers throughout his life\, and he published his autobiography. He later moved to England\, where he raised money for the abolitionist cause in America. Ward eventually settled in Jamaica\, where he died. \n\n\n  \nThe National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum is located at 5255 Pleasant Valley Road in Peterboro in the building in which the New York Anti-Slavery Society was organized on Oct. 22\, 1835. \n\n\nPeterboro was the home of famed abolitionist Gerrit Smith. \n\n\nFor more information about the event\, tickets\, meals please click HERE .  \n\n\n\n
