Zoom discussion of the 2022 UUA General Read: Defund Fear: Safety Without Policing, Prisons, and Punishment
Before joining in the Zoom meeting, I recommend that each of us, in order to be better participants, take one hour to watch Defund Fear Panel Discussion January 19 2022 No OS Captions.mov on Vimeo a January, 2022 conversation with the author Zach Norris where he engages with five UU religious professionals to explore the book’s call of faith to Unitarian Universalist. This will allow each of us to adequately prepare beforehand, and have a common starting point.
