Join the effort and answer the call from UUA President, Susan Frederick-Gray for a gathering of UU congregations to stand against the current threat to our democracy. UU the Vote will support congregations and UU organizations through 2020 in mobilizing voters, countering voter suppression, and engaging in spiritually grounded, values-based issue conversations with voters in their communities.
As a community, we’ll participate in a nationwide webinar led by UUA leadership and experienced activists. There will also be opportunity to join in to support local efforts within UUCUC and in partnership with others across the Champaign-Urbana community.
YOU are needed! Please CLICK HERE and let us know that you’ll join us on Sunday to take a stand. As Susan Frederick-Gray said: The stakes couldn’t be higher in the 2020 elections.
The stakes couldn’t be higher in the 2020 elections. All our values, our work for justice, the communities we love and the beloved community we seek to create are under attack. Our religious community must speak with moral courage and act with prophetic clarity and determination in the 2020 electoral cycle. Our UU values of interdependence, democracy, and the inherent worth and dignity of all people are direct antidotes to the fear, bigotry, and inequity that define our world. In this political moment, UUs are called to join forces with all people who want to organize our communities and our nation to #VoteLove and #DefeatHate. Let’s UU the Vote in 2020! (UUA President, Susan Frederick-Gray)
