MUUSJA's UU the VOTE Launch

March 31, 2026

Democracy is more than elections. It is created through the ways we show up for one another, build trust, and live our values in public life. As we approach the 2026 elections, Unitarian Universalists are gathering to ignite solidarity, deepen community, and reimagine what democracy can become when we center love and act together.

The Fight for Equality: Passing the Equal Rights Amendment in Minnesota

December 24, 2025

Join members of the Minnesotans for Equal Rights Coalition (MN4ER) for an engaging and informative webinar on the movement to pass an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Minnesota Constitution.

As people of faith committed to justice and equity, we play a vital role in ensuring constitutional protections against gender-based discrimination. The Minnesota ERA bill (SF37, HF173) intersects with issues so many of our faith communities are already committed to and engaged in: reproductive justice, trans refuge, disability justice, and anti-racism. 

No Kings event on October 18

October 8, 2025

We will meet at the A-frame at 11:30 a.m. to carpool to the Chaska event that starts at 12:30 p.m. If you would like to attend, please email Laurie Gauer (gauer_mn@yahoo.com).

LFUUers at No Kings events

June 19, 2025

Many LFUU members and friends showed up to protect our democracy at No Kings events on Saturday, June 14! They did so despite being in shock and grief over the murder of the Hortmans and shootings of the HoƯmans and being asked by authorities not to because of safety concerns since the killer was still at large. Many more weren’t able or chose not to attend but were there in heart and spirit.

On the June 16 nationwide No Kings debrief on Zoom, they reported that well over 5 million people showed up at over 2,100 No Kings events in all 50 states and many other countries!
