📣 Unitarian Universalism is pro trans, full stop! As Rev. Joanna Fontaine Crawford affirms, our faith calls us to affirm and promote each person's worth and dignity by honoring and celebrating who they say they are. 🏳️⚧️ #UPLIFTCollective

BREAKING: An immense step forward. Pope Francis calls for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide: "Declaring such laws 'unjust,' Francis said the Catholic Church can and should work to put an end to them. 'It must do this. It must do this.'"

Today starts the observance of Samhain. For many, Samhain is a time to honor the dead & reflect on the changing of seasons. The new year begins today in the Celtic tradition and the veil between us and our ancestors is lifted. Join together this Samhain.

“You shall not use God’s name in vain” is not about cursing.
It’s for blasphemy like using prayer to hide why you won’t pass laws to stop kids dying.

The stain of white supremacy has been part of American society since before we were a nation. We must all find the moral courage to speak out against white nationalist rhetoric that fuels ongoing violence and hate crimes. bit.ly/3Lsmvse #Buffalo #BlackLivesMatter

Our faith insists that any system that works to erode full humanity is unjust and harmful, and must be dismantled. UUism urges us to dedicate our hearts and our life forces toward dismantling white supremacy and creating a world in which every person has the ability to live free.

As we process this verdict against Kyle Rittenhouse, a young white man who murdered two pro-BLM protesters, we are coming together — on social media and in person, in action, and in prayer — to call for healing, justice, well-being, and true community safety for all in Wisconsin.

These recent days are filled with so many reminders of the depth of disregard for the preciousness of human life that pervade our culture. And how strongly the system is built to protect and reinforce this deadly systemic racism and white supremacy. #Kenosha

On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay, I ask every UU to listen to #ThisLand to better understand the ongoing cultural genocide committed against Native peoples. This somber holiday calls us to face the truths of the forces of white supremacy all around us. bit.ly/3FBlkoH.

As Unitarian Universalists, we are outraged and heartbroken that the conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court is allowing the implementation of SB8—a Texas anti-abortion bill that outlaws abortion after six weeks gestation. bit.ly/3A5eVPf

Super interesting story by @alemolina about a group of churches in Texas that call themselves ‘Reproductive Freedom Congregations’: religionnews.com/2021/08/25/…

No one gets it right 100% of the time. Don’t let your fear of getting it wrong keep you from using your voice to interrupt systemic white supremacy. As Unitarian Universalists, we must undo systemic white supremacy and promote universal equity.

The key to fighting despair over the climate crisis is to think beyond the individual and seek community support and solutions. As UUs, we are grateful to do the work of justice-making in a community, where we can lean on, and are sustained by, one another.bit.ly/3yT7SbJ

UU's remain in committed solidarity with the Indigenous people and all those who are fighting to protect the land in Minnesota against the Line 3 oil pipeline construction. Learn more about this critical climate justice issue from The Intercept.
