**Quick Note: This event is in person and on zoom. Although we would love to see you, we are providing the zoom link here for those of you can't come: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88158217522?pwd=cGxNeDR2eCthN0k2d2tlSk1sMnViQT09** Today, we see that injustice abounds, in many forms, throughout our society. The most visible forms all have racial undercurrents. If this is surprising, it shouldn’t be. Various segments of our American society have historically been perpetrators of egregious racial attacks, upon people of color since its inception – especially Black people. Unfortunately, not enough people in our society accepted the reality of the country’s unwarranted persecution upon some of their fellow citizens as fact. Now, a wave of egregious disenfranchisement attacks are being experienced by others, in much the same way that Black people have endured for many decades. As a society, in the past, we never accepted the fact that such a thing could happen in America. As we watch this violence unfolding in our “protected” communities, are we ready, today, to believe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s admonition that, “injustice anywhere, is a threat to justice everywhere”?; are we ready to cross those artificial barriers of race, to take counsel and establish true friendships with people of all races, so that we can build stronger and better communities, which promote justice and equity for all? …. Bahá’ís are encouraged to see in the revolutionary changes taking place in every sphere of life the interaction of two fundamental processes. One is destructive… the other… integrative; both serve to carry humanity, each in its own way, along the path leading towards its full maturity. The operation of the former is everywhere apparent--in the vicissitudes that have afflicted time-honoured institutions, in the impotence of leaders at all levels to mend the fractures appearing in the structure of society, in the dismantling of social norms that have long held in check unseemly passions, and in the despondency and indifference exhibited… by individuals… also by entire societies that have lost any vital sense of purpose. Though devastating in their effects, the forces of disintegration tend to sweep away barriers that block humanity's progress, opening space for the process of integration to draw diverse groups together and disclosing new opportunities for cooperation and collaboration. Bahá’ís,.. strive to align themselves, individually and collectively, with forces associated with the process of integration, which,… will continue to gain in strength, no matter how bleak the immediate horizons.... (Universal House of Justice) The Baha’i teachings advocate for racial amity as a fundamental aspect of humanity's unity and progress towards equality and justice: “…Racism is a profound deviation from the standard of true morality. It deprives a portion of humanity of the opportunity to cultivate and express the full range of their capability and to live a meaningful and flourishing life, while blighting the progress of the rest of humankind. It cannot be rooted out by contest and conflict. It must be supplanted by the establishment of just relationships among individuals, communities, and institutions of society that will uplift all and will not designate anyone as “other”. The change required is not merely social and economic…, above all moral and spiritual….” (Universal House of Justice, 2020, July) Let’s explore ways that we can develop and maintain the kinds of cross-racial friendships needed to build and sustain a unified and peaceful society. Baha’is are working through-out the world to advance all of humankind toward unity and justice. This is a safe space. All respectfully shared views are welcome.

This is a **stationary guided church visit — no walking tour** — allowing us to slow down and truly appreciate the church’s architecture, artwork, symbolism, and history in a peaceful and reflective setting. Expect soaring ceilings, dramatic altars, rich stained glass, devotional shrines, and stories that connect Catholic tradition with Chicago’s industrial and immigrant past. ✨ *** 🕰️ **Schedule, Meeting Info & Cost** 📅 **Saturday, February 14, 2026** ⏰ **10:00 AM – 12:00 PM** 📍 **St. Barbara Roman Catholic Church** 2859 S.

Named for **St. Barbara**, patron saint of miners and workers in dangerous trades, the parish became a spiritual refuge for laboring families seeking faith, stability, and community. The current church building, completed in the **1910s**, is a stunning example of the **Polish Cathedral style** — a uniquely American expression of Catholic architecture characterized by monumental scale, classical influences, lavish ornamentation, and an emphasis on beauty as an act of devotion. Inside, the church is richly adorned with: * Grand altars * Painted ceilings and murals * Sculptural details * Stained glass honoring saints, sacraments, and Polish religious heritage Every element was designed to inspire awe, reinforce Catholic teaching, and reflect the pride and sacrifice of the immigrant community that built it. For generations, St. Barbara served as a cultural, spiritual, and social anchor — hosting baptisms, weddings, funerals, festivals, and daily worship that shaped neighborhood life. As demographics evolved, the parish continued to adapt while preserving its extraordinary artistic and architectural legacy. Today, St. Barbara remains an active parish and a treasured landmark — one of Chicago’s most impressive examples of early 20th-century Catholic church design. *** 🍽️ **Optional Coffee or Lunch After the Visit** Those interested are welcome to join me afterward for coffee or lunch at a nearby neighborhood spot. 🍽️ Options will be shared closer to the date. ⚠️ Please bring cash — some venues may not split checks. *** 👟 **What to Bring** • Camera • Respectful attire • $15 tour fee (exact change appreciated) *** 🚇 **Getting There** Public transportation is easy and encouraged.

This presentation challenges the common tendency to treat ideology as a pejorative label reserved for explicit doctrines or political positions. Instead, ideology is examined as a pervasive and often unavoidable feature of human social life—one that operates largely beneath conscious awareness and shapes interpretation, judgment, and moral reasoning in subtle but powerful ways. The presentation reformulates ideology as a cultural and social phenomenon, offering a more empirically grounded account than conventional, belief-centered definitions. Building on this reformulation, the analysis makes the case for studying capitalism not only as an economic arrangement, but as a pervasive and often subliminal cultural ideology. It introduces original conceptual tools that make visible a cultural process through which market values increasingly displace human values under capitalism’s expansive cultural influence. While it is widely recognized that capitalism affects social and psychological life, this account examines how capitalist ideology spreads through cultural practices, embeds itself within ethical reasoning, and comes to organize moral evaluation around market imperatives. The discussion raises a central question: whether a market-oriented ideological environment can genuinely sustain humane moral frameworks, or whether ethical reasoning must first recognize how capitalist ideology has captured cultural processes in order to reclaim intentionality and reorient moral life around human values and human well-being, rather than relying on the hope that market priorities will incidentally serve them. **Judah Venturi** Judah Venturi is an independent philosopher and writer whose work engages contemporary social and cultural conditions through sustained philosophical analysis. Drawing from philosophy alongside psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, and economic theory, his writing examines ideology, capitalism, and moral reasoning at a fundamental level, seeking to move beneath surface-level explanations and short-term solutions. He is currently developing a book that introduces original concepts for understanding how capitalism operates as a pervasive cultural force shaping values and ethical judgment. In addition to this work, Venturi is actively publishing essays and presenting his ideas through public lectures and interviews, contributing to a growing body of contemporary philosophical discourse. **Join Zoom Meeting** [https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83984283081?pwd=pDQEeWHCvVNPiazdLF34pU1S8gcaQ0.1](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83984283081?pwd%3DpDQEeWHCvVNPiazdLF34pU1S8gcaQ0.1&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw2XOMB6Dlz_W0X1cqZUURcz) View meeting insights with Zoom AI Companion [https://us06web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid=a3d6e67c-ecb3-4486-8205-58ed25a08888](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us06web.zoom.us/launch/edl?muid%3Da3d6e67c-ecb3-4486-8205-58ed25a08888&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw0d9hz5EKd4epEXBuUb0DRM) Meeting ID: 839 8428 3081 Passcode: 005807 --- One tap mobile +13126266799,,83984283081#,,,,\*005807# US (Chicago) +13092053325,,83984283081#,,,,\*005807# US --- Join by SIP • [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) Join instructions [https://us06web.zoom.us/meetings/83984283081/invitations?signature=2zvQs4eN6zUITnjhUTgCE_GZj8uoSVr_kGSKLFYf4N0](https://www.google.com/url?q=https://us06web.zoom.us/meetings/83984283081/invitations?signature%3D2zvQs4eN6zUITnjhUTgCE_GZj8uoSVr_kGSKLFYf4N0&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw3N4X9FCdRBwzgTT0lptQ-f)

From Pan-African independence movements to contemporary tech innovation, Ghana has long been a crucible for imagining African futures. Today, many of Ghana's software engineers and members of Ghana's digital diaspora are rethinking technology not only as an engine of economic growth but also as a tool for political autonomy and social transformation. Join us for a Buffett Book Talk with [Reginold A. Royston](https://african.wisc.edu/staff/reginold-royston/), Associate Professor of African Cultural Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of *[Pan-African Futurism: Ghana and the Paradox of Technology for Development](https://www.ucpress.edu/books/pan-african-futurism/paper)*, an ethnographic account of an emerging ethos among technologists working on development projects on the ground in Africa today. Drawing on observation and interviews with software engineers in Ghana and media producers across Ghana's digital diaspora, Royston argues that these actors challenge long-standing NGO-led development paradigms, using technology as a means of reclaiming autonomy and reimagining African political futures in a global digital age. After Royston's talk, [Sean Hanretta](https://history.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core-faculty/sean-hanretta.html), Associate Professor of History at Northwestern University, will join the conversation to offer historical context and reflections on the book’s themes as well as questions for further investigation. The event will conclude with audience Q&A. *Lunch will begin at 12:15 p.m.* Please register for free at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/buffett-book-talk-pan-african-futurism-with-reginold-royston-tickets-1980727275601?aff=PlanitPurple.

The US Constitution and its Framers hold a uniquely venerated position in American democracy. But as the nation marks its 250th anniversary, fundamental questions about the Constitution's role in today's world have emerged. Does the Constitution still protect the rights and freedoms it was designed to guarantee? What makes the American constitutional system different from other democracies? And what determines whether a constitution remains resilient when tested? Join legal scholars Tom Ginsburg and Aziz Huq for a conversation about what American constitutionalism means in practice today. About the Speakers This event is hosted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. We from the Geopolitical Forum can continue the conversation after the event, perhaps over a drink or dinner.
