Justine Lindsay is the first openly trans cheerleader in the NFL

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 8 June 2022 at 10:00

The NFL season doesn't start until September, but Justine Lindsay is making history in the off-season as the league's first openly transgender cheerleader. This is a pivotal moment in history! A moment like this extends what's possible for LGBTQIA inclusion.

As Unitarian Universalists, there is more work for us to do to be the community that trans UUs deserve and need. Let us lean into trans resilience and support its blossoming. And let us celebrate the success of trans people!

The 29-year-old announced joining the Carolina Panthers TopCats earlier this year. Lindsay says she will continue to "inspire and help my African American beautiful trans sisters."

Transphobic and Anti-Abortion Policies are a Direct Threat to My Religious Freedom

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 7 June 2022 at 13:30

UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray calls out the false narratives of religious liberty in recent conservative policy measures and we couldn't be more proud:

“Religious freedom” as originally articulated by the Edict of Torda, an historic declaration of religious freedom and pluralism from which UUs draw our religious lineage, more than 450 years ago served as a protection for minority religious views. And those safeguards are certainly why the Founding Fathers included freedom of religion in the First Amendment.

But currently, the concept of religious freedom is being misused, especially by those on the Right, as an excuse for already powerful and privileged religious movements to exclude, oppress, and circumvent the civil and human rights of people with marginalized identities.

Read her full editorial in Religion Dispatches: https://bit.ly/3NuVKVI

The Public Religion Research Institute recently highlighted an important statistic: nearly all Unitarian Universalists (97 percent) support nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQIA+ people. It’s a similar story for reproductive rights—according to the Pew Research Center, 90 percent of Unitaria...

UU the Vote and UU College of Social Justice are excited to announce the UU the Vote Legacy Fellowship for UU Young Adults and/or Black, Indigenous, and people of color Unitarian Universalists. This Fellowship recognizes and supports leaders in our faith community who carry on the legacy of activism and organizing that embody our faith through justice organizing and activism.

The fellowship is a 6-month program (July-November) that will recognize 6 to 8 individuals to support your work and expand your skills and capacity. Fellows will be awarded $5,000 with an additional $1,500 project budget.

The success of UU the Vote was the result of leaders engaging in multiple strategies and tactics to support our UU and larger communities. The success was defined by partnerships with frontline communities and organizations–many of which are led by and organized by young adults and BIPOC communities. The UU the Vote Legacy Fellowship is an investment in that leadership.

Learn more at https://bit.ly/3t0rI3Y.

Join the Open House on June 7th at 7pm ET for an informational event where you will be able to meet the Fellowship Committee and ask questions about the program and application process. RSVP at https://bit.ly/FellowshipOpenHouse

Learn how local faith leaders, including Unitarian Universalists, called for reparations to be paid to the survivors and descendants of the massacre’s victims.

What Is Critical Race Theory?

"It’s unfortunate that those in disagreement with the tenets of Critical Race Theory have chosen to misrepresent the arguments of and the audience for this school of legal thought instead of engaging directly with the premises, facts, and logic of its concepts."

We are so grateful for the pastoral presence of UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray. She offers this message in response to the tragic shooting in Uvalde, TX:

My heart aches for the children, teachers, school staff, families, first responders, and community in Uvalde, Texas. I am lifting up the families who lost loved ones and their community, who will live with the legacy of yesterday’s violence forever in their hearts. The horrific toll of this loss of grade school children is truly beyond words. It doesn’t have to be this way.

And while we pray for the victims and their families and provide support and comfort to their community, we must also demand action to pass reasonable gun safety regulations. We cannot tolerate and accept living under these conditions of mass violence anymore.

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 18 May 2022 at 15:36

In the days since the most recent brutal attack on Black people took place in Buffalo, NY, the United States has once again been forced to confront our long history of racism. The stain of white supremacy has been part of American society since before we were a nation.

Additionally, throughout our history, even before we were a nation, there have been courageous and faithful civil rights leaders, most of whom were people of color, who have repeatedly shown up for justice and inspired others to fight against what President Biden just yesterday called the “poison” of white supremacy.

The UUA remains steadfast in our commitment to anti-racism. We must all find the moral courage to speak out against white nationalist rhetoric that fuels ongoing violence and hate crimes. We know that the Beloved Community can be built here in the United States but only through the hard work of listening to and organizing in solidarity with those most impacted by systemic racism.

In this time when democratic institutions in our wider world are ever more under threat, it matters that we can show up faithfully for the democratic practices that make our faith tradition strong. To support broad participation and provide time for discernment about the important business decisions up for a vote at #UUAGA next month, our UUA Board of Trustees has been offering multiple online events to help UUs prepare.

The next event covers, "What Does Multiplatform Mean for this Year's General Assembly?" and will be Thursday, May 26 at 7pm ET/ 4pm PT. Learn more and register online. https://bit.ly/3MrlfqF

Statement on Buffalo Shootings: "We begin with truth-telling and moving together in that truth." — Side With Love

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 17 May 2022 at 12:16

Side with Love reminds us that, far from being an isolated incident, the tragic events in #Buffalo are a predictable outcome of our white supremacy culture:

This latest attack is the result of a society that is rooted in white supremacy. This violence...shows up with believing that white lives should be protected over Black lives–knowing that Black children playing on playgrounds or sleeping in their homes are killed by police without hesitation, while white assailants are taken safely into custody. It shows up with packaging genocidal movements in language like “Replacement Theory.” It shows up when the media calls Mike Brown an “18-year-old man” and the Buffalo shooter a ”white teenager.”

Read their full statement: https://sidewithlove.org/ourstories/2022/5/16/buffalo-statement

On Saturday, an 18-year-old white supremacist carried out a premeditated fatal attack on a Black community in Buffalo, killing ten and injuring many more. Today, we mourn the ten unique and precious lives of the people murdered in Buffalo – church elders, civil rights activists, grandmothers, pare

2 Article II Bylaws Express Our UU Covenant

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 16 May 2022 at 14:00

It's a source of pride and great meaning for many UUs to be part of a covenantal faith. We often point to our 7 UU Principles as the expression of our covenant and these Principles have changed over time. But has our covenant itself changed?

In this video clip, the Revs Bill Sinkford, Meredith Garmon, and Susan Frederick-Gray talk about the differences between UU religious covenant and the words which express it.

10 killed, 3 wounded in racist shooting at Buffalo supermarket, officials say

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 16 May 2022 at 10:30

We are holding the victims and their families and the entire Buffalo community in love and light in this heartbreaking time. The racist and anti-Semitic rationale behind this shooting - yet another attack on a community of color by a person espousing white supremacist ideology - is an echo of the ongoing call for this country to take seriously the pervasive and deadly consequences of racism.

Unitarian Universalism is committed to building a world that is more just and equitable and we have much work to do. As we make space in our hearts and in our spiritual communities for people to grieve and find sustenance, we must also prepare for the work ahead. We must continue to show up for our BIPOC and LGBTQIA siblings and communities, work to elect leaders at all levels that will take action to end identity-based oppression, marginalization and violence, and hold these leaders accountable.

Our hearts heavy with grief, we continue onward with you all.

Mourning 1 Million Lost to Covid-19

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 12 May 2022 at 15:20

Today we honor the 1 million Americans who have died due to COVID-19. From the beginning of the pandemic, this country failed to center our response on supporting the well-being of the most vulnerable in our communities, which led to BIPOC and disabled people bearing the brunt of both illness and death.

We remain concerned that a desire to “quickly return to normal” is further isolating disabled and immunocompromised people. It matters that we continue to ask how to support those who are most vulnerable within and beyond UU congregations and that we continue to work to create safe and inclusive spaces for those seeking comfort and spiritual connection during these difficult times.

We are all holding so much these days, it can be hard to make space for arbitrary calendar dates of celebration. And so, on this Mother’s Day, we offer this reading from UU minister Rev. Lisa Bovee-Kemper, which includes in part:

“The truth of human experience dictates that on any given day, we each come to the table with hearts in different places. It is especially so on this day, invented to honor women who nurture.

In this circle of care, we honor the truth that mothering is not and never will be quantified in one single descriptor. Mothering can be elusive or infuriating, fulfilling or confusing, commonplace or triumphant.

There is room for all in this circle.”

On this #MothersDay, we send love to all people who mother, nurture, and care for others. You matter.

Some religions support abortion rights. Their leaders are speaking up.

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 6 May 2022 at 15:30

Proud to have our history of commitment to reproductive justice and our theologically based support for access to abortion included in this great story from
NBC NewsBCNews.

“Unitarian Universalists have the highest level of support for abortion rights among denominations, with 90 percent saying abortion should be legal, according to Pew Research.”

“We support abortion justice not despite our religious values but because of them." Our faith will always call us to advocate on behalf of all people to be able to readily access safe, legal abortion care. In the wake of the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion, our role as UU’s in this moment of time should continue to center the people most impacted.

Covid's toll in the U.S. reaches a once unfathomable number: 1 million deaths

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 5 May 2022 at 15:27

As the US reaches the somber benchmark of 1 million deaths from COVID 19, we mourn all who have died, and we grieve for the millions more that have been impacted by this deadly virus. We know that COVID has had a disproportionate impact on people with disabilities, on Black, Hispanic and Latino, and Indigenous communities, as well as fueling violence against Asian and Asian American communities. Because so many people hold intersecting vulnerable identities, we know the harm has been significant.

The UUA continues to seek ways to support those who are most vulnerable within and beyond UU congregations, and to help congregations provide safe and inclusive ways of providing the hope, healing, and spiritual connection that so many need in this painful time.

"It's an exponential number of other people that are walking around with a small hole in their heart," one widow said.

The Fight for Abortion Access Isn’t Over — Side With Love

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 4 May 2022 at 15:30

As a people of faith, Unitarian Universalists have committed to working together for Reproductive Justice, following the lead of movement partners who have been in the struggle and on the frontlines for years. Here are six things you can do today to take action:

1. Turn out tonight wherever you are to answer the Women’s March’s call to Rally for Roe.

2. Join Side With Love and the National Network of Abortion Funds for our upcoming political education event, Heart-to-Heart: Abortion Conversations & Action for a Post-Roe World, Tuesday, May 17 at 8pm ET/5pm PT.

3. Support local organizing for abortion access and Reproductive Justice. Form a congregational team, educate yourselves, join with other progressive people of faith, follow the lead of your local Reproductive Justice organization.

4. Donate to your local abortion fund to ensure that everyone who needs an abortion can afford one.

5. Get involved with SACReD, the Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity, which is building a multi-racial, multi-faith movement of congregations across the country that publicly proclaim their support for reproductive dignity. It’s so new that it doesn’t have a full website, but you can sign up for future communications here.

https://bit.ly/3s8639t
6. Get involved with the work of the Liberate Abortion Coalition, and consider participating in the upcoming Abortion Crisis Caravan this June.

Since well before Roe v. Wade, Unitarian Universalists have declared unequivocally that we support every person’s right to make decisions about their own bodies and reproductive health, including the choice to seek abortion care. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, UUs have supported movements...

UUs Will Continue to Fight for Abortion Access

By: Unitarian Universalist Association — 3 May 2022 at 12:45

We are heartbroken and outraged that it appears the Supreme Court is poised to overturn nearly five decades of precedent to take rights away from pregnant people. And we greatly fear that this decision will justify efforts to further limit the rights of women and other vulnerable populations in this country.

As a faith tradition, we are committed to #ReproductiveJustice, which affirms the human right to have children, not to have children, to parent the children one has in healthy environments to safeguard bodily autonomy, and to express one's sexuality freely.

Our faith still urgently calls us to advocate on behalf of all people to be able to readily access safe, legal abortion care whenever and wherever they need it. We will not rest until that reality is true across the country.

As Unitarian Universalists, we believe that all bodies are sacred.
