Whether your congregation has a long history of voter mobilization or you’re just starting to think about it, we hope you’ll join with other UUs from DC, MD, and VA for organizing school! We are all more effective when we gather together in our power. Also, we are excited to welcome youth and offer programming to several other age groups in conjunction with the organizing school!
Organizing School is a chance to gather in person for spiritual grounding, relationship building, and concrete skills training–all towards the goal of engaging as many people as possible in the 2024 election! We strongly encourage congregations to send teams of at least 3 people to help build momentum. Now is a great time to gather your team, confirm commitments to engage, and flex your muscle memory from prior elections or joint projects. Organizing School will help feed and support this process. Congregations that start in the Spring are best positioned for success later in the year!
The event is jointly sponsored by the Reeb Project for Voting Rights of All Souls Church, UUs for Social Justice (UUSJ), and UU the Vote. Also, it just so happens that Saturday, April 27 is the 100th Anniversary of regular worship services being held in All Souls current building, so refreshments and tours will be offered from 3:00-4:00 PM as part of our 100th Anniversary weekend. And if that’s not enough, from 4:00 - 5:30 PM there will be a free concert featuring choir members from all DMV-area congregations, following a day-long singing workshop! We’ll provide recommendations for area restaurants to visit afterwards, so you can make a day of it if you like!
Registration is on a sliding scale from $0 to $50, with $25 being the standard fee. This allows us to provide a light breakfast, full lunch, and snacks.Register for Organizing School.
Children and Youth Programming
We are excited to welcome youth and offer programming to several other age groups in conjunction with the organizing school! High school students are invited to participate in the program on their own, and middle school students are invited to participate in the organizing school with an adult present. Use thesame registration link as adults.
We are offering a combination of relevant programming and childcare in two groups:
- Pre-K to 1 (Register Here; No additional charge; Capped at 15)
- 2nd to 5th grade (Register Here; No additional charge; Capped at 25)
Regretfully, we cannot offer care for infants or toddlers who require naps. We simply do not have the facilities to do it safely.
