Helping Each Other to Change for a World of Justice in Peace

Ethical Culture without ethical action? Impossible! Felix Adler grounded his new movement on the affirmation that each human being must be attributed worth and dignity. And he understood that any political-economic structure that violates human worth must be resolutely opposed. The task we still face is to struggle to build a world where the best potential of each person can be as fully realized as possible. We will celebrate glowing moments in our history of work against the many forms of dehumanization suffered by our sisters and brothers and ourselves. And we will nurture our resilience to advance the daunting work that remains ahead.
