2. Dr. Harriet Fraad discusses the implications of deeper systemic problems with male superiority and capitalism in the case of Jeffrey Epstein and his sex-trafficking of young girls to the rich and powerful including presidents and princes.Dr. Fraad looks at the middle class beginnings of Jeffrey Epstein and his ascent to a life of luxury with his ability to ingratiate himself to make ever higher and more lucrative connections. Dr. Fraad describes the raising of males in our strongly matriarchal led households and in our schools that tends to limit the emotional expression of boys to anger, sports and sex, while denying the boys needs for tenderness, comfort, emotional care and empathy that cannot be admitted for fear of shame of failure to live up to the learned identity of an American male.  Dr. Fraad believes paid paternity leaves and free daycare would help the families better address the nurturing of boys and allow the tender expressions of males as fathers.

Description of the 2019 Festival of Belonging on the RSVP page:  Today, there is no greater challenge for communities than the homeless crisis. It's a many-headed hydra that will take many ordinary heroes to vanquish. The Festival of Belonging began in 2018 as a way to support our unsheltered neighbors before they were evicted from their long-time home behind a shopping mall. This year, we invite community members to get to know our unsheltered neighbors through art and stories. People who live on the streets are just as varied and unique as housed residents. Come and learn more about the life stories, hopes, and challenges of your unsheltered neighbors!
