People of faith have always come together to resist injustice and build a better world. Now, it’s our time. Join The Gathering, a new monthly virtual event from Side With Love, to strengthen your spirit, understand the threats to democracy, and take meaningful action alongside others.
What happens at The Gathering?
- Spiritual Grounding – Strengthen your heart and spirit for the work ahead.
- Political Analysis – Understand the threats to democracy and justice.
- Collective Action – Organize with others to block anti-democratic forces and build a just and loving world.
Just like workers around the world who celebrate International Workers Day on May 1st, Unitarian Universalists are joining the tidal wave of every day people demanding a country that puts our families over billionaires’ fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, prosperity over free market politics. From Tesla Takedowns to BDS (Boycott Divestment Sanctions), economic interventions can be powerful.
This month on May 12th at The Gathering, we will be anchored in the poetry of Julian Jamaica Soto and Side with Love’s Nicole Pressley will invite us into learning about strategy and what makes economic strategies like boycotts successful (or not!).
