June 30,at 10 am, 3845 North Swan Street "UU the Vote for LBGTQ+ Equity"
The Welcoming Congregation team will discuss the Unitarian Universalist Association's (UUA) nonpartisan "UU the Vote" civic engagement initiative, and how people can get involved in promoting democracy around issues affecting the LGBTQIA+ community.
UU the Vote promotes the values of interdependence, equity, democracy, and the inherent worth and dignity of all people as direct antidotes to the fear, bigotry, and inequity that define our world. With the rise of authoritarianism and governmental attacks on and oppression of the queer and trans community in many states, it is critical that we work to advance democracy and organize for justice, accountability, and legal protections for LGBTQIA+ people.
