UUCUC members and friends showed up in force for the Black Lives Matter peaceful march through Urbana and Champaign last Monday, with about a thousand other protestors. There were at least 30 of us there, with our banner, including Rev. Florence. Read more about the march.

Thank you to all who bravely came out of quarantine, stayed safe during the march, and expressed our commitments and values so directly. We will need to keep showing up for our country to change. To find out more of what you can do, please visit our Black Lives Matter webpage.
