The Mosaic
The Mosaic is an online hub of connection, resources, and support for Unitarian Universalists dismantling racism and oppression. Through resources, programs, training, groups, and gatherings, The Mosaic fosters belonging and liberation in Unitarian Universalist congregations and communities. Our work for collective liberation can be as colorful, multi-faceted, and diverse as the tiles of a mosaic. Together, all of our contributions create something beautiful.
Why the Mosaic?
In response to the recommendations of the Commission on Institutional Change's (COIC) 2020 report, Widening the Circle of Concern, the UUA is creating and curating anti-racism resources and programs to further support the anti-racist transformation that has been embraced by so many of our congregations and communities.
Elements of the Mosaic
The Mosaic is built on a "platform" that names our core UU values, commitments, theologies, and understandings that guide our work. The Mosaic Platform is dynamic, intentionally built to change as understandings of racism and oppression, anti-racism, and anti-oppression emerge and evolve in our congregations and cultures.
This series of programs for all ages, stages, and identities is available now! Access our online facilitator training and get started with this highly flexible, multimedia collection of resources to engage Unitarian Universalists in anti-racist learning and growth.
We've curated and tagged trainings, books, curricula, and more, from UU sources and beyond, to support your anti-racist transformational work. Resources are tagged by topic, age group(s), focus, type, and more.
Our Mosaic Learning and Practice Communities support congregations’ and communities' long-term commitment to carry out anti-racist transformation work in their contexts. These include national online gatherings as well as smaller "skill-up" facilitated groups.
This certification program for congregations engaged in anti-racist, multicultural transformation will launch in 2025.
Rev. Qiyamah Rahman has created a guide for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) UUs to find support, connection, and Unitarian Universalist community.
