"Celebrating the Anniversary of Stonewall Riots"
with the LGBTQ+ Caucus
| |
Join with us for the national celebration of the 55th Anniversary of Stonewall with a Prideful service and celebration. During these troubling times we like to remember the words of Quinten Crisp "In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their address they eventually live in the metropolis." The LGBTQ+ Caucus is building bridges with
our LGBTQ+ and Ally family.
Look for welcoming activities in the near future that are inspirational, educational and multigenerational. The foundation is one of education and lived experience with workshops on LGBTQ+ History and How to Be an Ally.
New Members and UUCLB Annual Awardees will also be celebrated on June 30.

Questions? Email the team at: DemocracyTeam@UUCLB.org

Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice's Democracy Movement is composed of individuals and groups that are concerned about the current state of our country and our democracy, and want to make things better. It is not a political party. Independents, Republicans, Democrats, and individuals who dislike and don't want to participate in politics, are all invited to participate in this movement.
The Democracy Movement's goal is to create a society where everyone's basic needs are met, and people have the opportunity to grow and thrive. If you believe that:
- There is too much money in the hands of too few people
- All people are created equal and should have equal rights
- There is power in coming together in support of a common goal
- We need to stop being polarized - we are all different, that's ok - most of us have a lot in common - we need to discuss and understand our differences, not fight over them
- People should be encouraged to vote and make their voices heard
- Although flawed, democracy is still a better system of government than autocracy / authoritarianism / fascism.
Then you should consider supporting the Democracy Movement. Here are two things you can do: (1) Find and join a local group that supports democracy, (2) Use this link http://bit.ly/uusjelection2024 to download Your Personal Plan to Help Save Our Democracy, select some items, then select some more (3) UUCLB's Saving Democracy Team meets the 2nd Monday of the month at 7:00 p.m. via Zoom. Join us. Email: DemocracyTeam@UUCLB.ORG to be put on our e-list to receive updates.
