Each Sunday we usually collect money for a different #charity Now that we are not meeting in person we hope that you will take time to go to the George Spady website and learn more. https://www.gspady.org/  #UU #UnitarianUniversalist #SocialJustice #Yegpic.twitter.com/EqbeEZGq8C

This isn’t your place to allocate people. You aren’t Native American. You don’t hold natural right to anything. Keep trying to use racism as an excuse to hide from your insecure self

As I muse about what's going on in the world, I realize once again that I don't know more than I know. So I'm working on learning more. This is a remarkable thread. #BLM #UnitarianUniversalist https://twitter.com/clairewillett/status/1266894029498675200 …

You have disgraced George's memory. Bunch of thugs

"Systemic racism and economic injustice are America’s pre-existing conditions. They make us vulnerable and the fissures they create in our society have only grown larger under the stress of global pandemic." @RevPeggyClarkepic.twitter.com/PrxE6BlJhp

The wealth of the rich should be divided between the farmers and the workers who create the food and the products

Well then shut up and go back to Africa we don't want you

If you truly want to make a difference, you need to speak out against violence, looting, & destruction. 99% of the country stood in solidarity against #GeorgeFloyd's murder.Yes, even majority cops. The riots are a distraction from the message. We're listening. Make it meaningful!

It's the damn truth. Do you condone violence, vandalism, theft and arson?

There’s a #blacklivesmatter protest in Waterville, #Maine, today, 12-1pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Silver Street. Please practice social distancing and wear a mask. For more information on this and other protests and vigils in the state: https://www.facebook.com/suitupmaine/photos/mainers-are-standing-in-solidarity-with-those-calling-for-justice-for-george-flo/3063099590442537/ …

When I go home I always go to Newburyport where my parents grew up & where I lived very happily, on the beach, for years. We walk past the Unitarian Universalist church to see what they have to inspire. This was a couple of years ago, but it means a lot to come across this today. pic.twitter.com/A3xmy5l5rt

There are racist people black & white! ignorant people please continue to follow the racist BLM group! They’ll continue to make millions off of your ignorance of statistics. It is not a race thing!

Damn right! It’s always their “me,me,me” mentality and their own group of “elite” circles.

Rest tonight. We're back on tomorrow to #TurnUpAtYourAltarpic.twitter.com/m8srthl6vr

I’ll bet trump would collapse if protest broke out at Mar Largo .

Keep it non violent if you don’t want the country to push for BLM to be classified up there with Antifa as a domestic terrorist group.

This poem highlights the need for empathy: "...then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me" - Martin Neimöller Yes POC are the victims here that need to be listened to, but this can and will affect all of us. #blacklivesmatterhttps://images.app.goo.gl/soJUPC9NU511moYj8 …

I find his words familiar as I attend a Unitarian Universalist church.

Rioting and stealing does not = protesting. That = criminal actions.

America was never salvageable, third world invasion or no. A country founded on Protestant ethics is bound to degrade to the impersonal, Unitarian Universalist "love of man" cult at some point.

"How else do we dismantle systems of oppression if not to burn them down? The problem isn’t the rioters. The problem is white supremacy - the system that inspires people, from time to time, to riot." @RevPeggyClarke https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-community-church-of-new-york-unitarian-universalist/being-church-sermon-by-rev-peggy-clarke-sunday-may-31-2020/3140432819346385/ …

White supremist no doubt.

Cannot sign a petition for someone who starts fires, loots, destroys businesses, libraries, historical sightings, spreads hateful graffiti. You just solidified your reputation; do I fear you, no, do I trust you, no. A peaceful protest with thousands in the streets, yes.

You get your reputation from the manner in which you present yourself to the public. Tell me, did the looters honor Mr. Floyd as they carried out the goods?

Music Sunday from my church: https://youtu.be/T1fghPLGEfU  (my voice is in the mix for the opening hymn, David Haas sings a song about his son's #EagleScout experience, there's gorgeous fiddlin' at 18:04, and more) #uu #unitarianuniversalist

Stupid comment.

Public Witness in support of #BlackLivesMatter, Monday, June 1, 5-6pm, Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, 4444 Arlington Blvd., UUCA@uucava.org inviting all to peaceful public witness to the continued senseless killing of Black citizens. Safe social distancing

Are you starting fires, stealing from businesses, breaking windows, spreading graffiti and asking for respect for these actions? Wonder why you get little support?

“The problem isn’t the rioters. The problem is White Supremacy.” @RevPeggyClarke this morning.

So did you pledge to Mr Floyd that you would burn buildings, steal from businesses, break windows, and spread graffiti? Did you tell your children this is what you do to earn respect? You are your greatest enemy.

We may not be able to eradicate this age-old virus immediately, but what we do not face, we can never change. Let us face this evil and cast it from our collective being. And let’s do it together. All of us need all of us to breathe and to live. Everybody’s got a right to live.

On June 20, we will join thousands from across the country to lift the voices and faces of poverty in the midst of pandemic for a massive, historic online gathering that will embolden us and prepare us to struggle for the kind of society we so badly need and deserve.

The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is rising across the nation to address these challenges but they need your help.

We hold in our hearts the recent victims of extrajudicial murder: Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and George Floyd and in our own backyard of Silver Spring, Finan Bear-hey.

Today, many of us are filled with sadness, we are brimming with righteous anger, we are wracked with physical pain as our country once again wrestles with racism and it’s deadly impact.

It was inevitably going to happen one time or another to put your mind at ease it's really no one's fault it was a ticking time-bomb since the Punic Wars they had an ambitious plan to lie about history and take total control of every soul their coy cockiness is their own downfall

It seems like they're using Islamic Invader tactics acting innocent like they're the victims when they're the ones killing everyone that's why you're rioting in the first place They have to change the history books they need to respect every human being race colour and culture

Every single person in that Riot is a hero to all of humanity to stand up for not only your basic rights but everyone else is Future children's lives are at stake and our actions will have consequences for reaching beyond our comprehension at the moment the right thing is riot

They never cared about your lives or your family health & future they only want to exploit you and use you were never part of their vision of a Utopia if it was true they would have never put Christopher Columbus and fake aryan invasions in history books where's the respect?

“I crossed through the desert and across a river without food or drink.

Since becoming a Unitarian Universalist, all of my senior ministers have been/are women. They have been crucial to my growth. Only a fool believes religious wisdom is limited to one gender. Keep sharing your gifts.

A #prolife Unitarian Universalist has asked us for help connecting with like-minded folks. The denomination is officially pro-abortion, and the best hope of change is from within! If you are part of the UU church and willing to be contacted, please drop a reply.

Of course crime went down, because no one was getting arrested
