"Burning Bright"
with Rev. Rayna Hamre
Book banning and burning have long been a part of human history. Author Ray Bradbury wrote the iconic book Fahrenheit 451 on this very topic, published on October 19, 1953. Southern California and the rest of the US are now experiencing book and information suppression through legislation, unbelievably echoing the themes of his story. Understanding the forces driving the current fear mongering around books, libraries, and library staff can help Unitarian Universalists move forward with wise and courageous social justice actions.
| |
Rev. Rayna Hamre is a long-time Unitarian Universalist who grew up in the Orange County area. Rev. Rayna holds a Master of Divinity degree and a MA in History. She also served as a UU lay leader and as a Director of Religious Education prior to her ordination. Her current social justice activities include sponsoring refugees and teaching English as a Nova Ukraine volunteer, and serving as a Member of the Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council. A UU mystic who teaches the Pagan path, she currently facilitates a UU Pagan book group, Heart’s Grove. She also leads ancestor healing work, meditation classes, dream exploration, and provides ritual training as founder and lead teacher of Three Worlds One Heart Mystery School. threeworldsoneheart.org

July 2024
Bienestar Human Services
| |
|
Our Social Justice recipient for the month of July is Bienestar Human Services. Bienestar was founded in 1989 as a direct response to the lack of resources available for Latinx and LGBTQ+ individuals at the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis in Southern California. Bienestar is a community-based social services organization focusing on identifying and addressing emerging health issues faced by Latinx and LGBTQ+ populations. Bienestar reaches these unique populations through innovative and compassionate peer-to-peer modeling that is 100% culturally relevant to the communities it serves. Underserved communities sit on an intersectional spectrum of experiences and needs.
Bienestar strives to rebuild the trust in our medical system, break down barriers to care, inspire our next agents of change, and provide a support system toward health equity for all. Bienestar’s education and support programs encompass HIV/ AIDS prevention, STI testing and treatment, mental health services, substance use and harm reduction, men’s health, trans health, a food bank, housing help, and youth empowerment. All services are offered to the community for free. Bienestar serves the greater Los Angeles County community with several locations, including Long Beach.
Bienestar is always accepting motivated and enthusiastic volunteers to help with their different programs and services for the community. Volunteer tasks and assignments vary across each of their centers, staff, and programs and include an internship program for students working toward a Masters in Social Work. You can read more about Bienestar at their Web site: https://www.bienestar.org/ You can support Bienstar until the last Sunday of July by mail, text, or online.
Our social justice collections take place on second Sundays, but you can support the monthly social justice recipient until the last Sunday of the month (July: Bienstar or August: DAYS Long Beach by mail, text, or online.
