Our Wellspring of Hope and Courage For The Times Ahead

UUA executive leadership shares a message of hope and courage on the morning of the U.S. national election. They reiterate their commitment to continue to Side With Love and ground the work going forward in our shared values of justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence, and generosity.

Wellspring of Hope

Forward Together

In response to the U.S. national election, the UUA's Side With Love staff have prepared a series of online gatherings to help Unitarian Universalists connect, care for each other, and ground in the values that drive our work for justice. The first gathering will be a vigil at 8pm ET on Nov. 6, with additional gatherings planned for the coming weeks.
