Rebels with a Cause: Humanist Lessons from Star Wars (hybrid)

On May the Fourth, we’ll explore what a galaxy far, far away can teach us about resistance, justice, and ethical rebellion here on Earth. Drawing on themes from Star Wars and real-world activism, this talk reimagines the Force as our shared human potential and reminds us that we are each other’s only hope. Even if you’ve never seen a Star Wars movie (or if you only vaguely remember a guy with a glowing sword in space) this talk is for you!

Curious and compassionate, Louise Jett (she/her) is an Ethical Humanist, media specialist, graphic designer, writer, and artist. In short, she is an educator, community organizer, and storyteller who strives to approach challenges with optimism and enthusiasm. An American Ethical Union Certified Leader, she is truly inspired by people who are dedicated to empowering and caring for others. She worked as a professor for 12 years and has experience facilitating conversations and Restorative Justice Community Circles.
