We did it 
Thank you for your tweets, calls, and other actions demanding justice in @NoMoreDeaths case — humanitarian relief efforts are not a crime! Sickening that it was ever a question here in the United States. https://twitter.com/UUSC/status/1102602729401266178 …
I thought we’d experiment. I’ve been seeing a trend for #UUTwitter being used during the week. Then if people click on a Sunday #uutwitter tweet they discover all the other goods. Was split second decision as I filmed in field of blinding snow.
PROTIP: To get more people to see your tweets today, add hashtag #SundayMorning and any hashtags related to your topic theme.
Happy Sunday! I just blew up 12 - 13 beach balls for a special service surprise. What’s happening in your UU congregation / life today? Tweet with hashtag #UUTwitter.pic.twitter.com/uzMKPY1jwz
Young people are demanding action, going on strike from school. There is a global day of action scheduled for March 15th. Any UUs striking tag me in photos so I can retweet.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll check it out! Might be good to have playlist of congregational videos too.
Great idea. Good to include docs. Raw Faith featuring @marilynsewell - check!
What’s your favorite video about Unitarian Universalism? Im looking for great videos for newcomers, including sermons, to update this playlist. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL489B927BB0C4BF9A … Reply with YouTube URL and WHY you like it. Thanks!
Unitarian Universalists, are you protesting Monday? Tag photos of UUs in action with @uuplanet so I can find your tweets and retweet: Protests planned across US on Presidents Day in response to Trump's national emergency for border wall https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/430365-protests-planned-across-us-on-presidents-day-in-response-to …
One of my top sources of information is sea level rise expert @johnenglander. He is also a Unitarian Universalist. We had coffee a number of years ago when he came through Boston for an event. I highly recommend his book High Tide on Main Street https://amzn.to/2BxDGr8

That’s a great one! Thx for suggestion.
Yeah. I’m all salt and pepper and have a 10 year old now!
Not to say this video isn’t good. We just need fresh content as this was made in a 4:3 lower resolution pre-social media world. And to all still using / watching it, I’m glad it is helpful.
Oh, I think I need to make some new videos about Unitarian Universalism. This video was made in 2007! Interesting to think about how best to educate given evolution of social media since then. https://twitter.com/uuhamilton/status/1095364308597391361 …
Snow day! Yes, stats are old but the stories still apply. Thanks for sharing.
Great question. I think we need to do more to pull the action items out of the larger resources. Give me every action in a tweet with a link to its source!
UUs taking action to address climate change — what’s your favorite source for clear specific action items? Top books, articles, websites with lists you’d recommend? @UUMFE @UUA @UUSC https://twitter.com/revdrmeg/status/1095057480403496960 …

Join me in welcoming our @UUSpokane congregation to Twitter!
Agreed! More examples would be helpful. I’m starting to identify leaders to interview.
Thinking about what @billmckibben said last time I bumped into him in Cambridge on the need for UUs to offer moral leadership and get us where we need to go. That was a while ago. How do you think we're doing in terms of moral leadership on climate as a movement?pic.twitter.com/eLP1tzrAWM

Been working on this. I turn my phone off while working on AM projects. I assume people who need to talk to me have an appointment or can leave a message. Once family is home, I try to turn it off. When I'm meeting with others, airplane mode. A spiritual discipline for sure!
