Led by Rev. Kevin Alan Mann
Our deepest faith values tell us we must ABOLISH ICE NOW! As Unitarian Universalists we will not stand by as families are ripped apart and constitutional rights are trampled on. What does it mean for each generation to make this faith our own? What does it mean to be a Unitarian Universalist in resistance against all forms of oppression? Who could we be if we made real the values of our faith? We resist with every breath of our body the fascist system filled by greed and hatred of the other. All of us have a role to play in the resistance. You are not alone!
