How do I advocate?
The best advocate is a well-informed advocate! Familiarize yourself with the program, particularly the Our Whole Lives Program Goals, Values, and Assumptions which can be found in the introduction to each level of the curriculum. Read the brochure Unitarian Universalist Views on Sex, which is available from the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Bookstore. When you’re ready to do some advocacy, remember that short, concise messages have the most impact. Prepare to answer common questions by reading the rest of this FAQ document.
Some congregations invite adults who are OWL facilitators and youth who have taken OWL to share their reflections on the program. Ministers give sermons on sexuality education; some sermons are on the site mentioned above. The UUA's Our Whole Lives Program Manager can provide a recorded sermon titled "Sexuality Through a UU Lens" or, you can request notes to deliver the sermon yourself.
