MUUSJA has joined the Minnesotans for Equal Rights Coalition and the fight to adopt an Equal Rights Amendment in our state’s constitution! Did you know that the language of the ERA has been updated? It includes all people and offers protection against discrimination based on race, color, national origin, ancestry, disability, or sex, including pregnancy, pregnancy outcomes, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation.

Across the nation, Unitarian Universalist congregations are hosting UU Climate Justice Revivals, which are powerful gatherings where we come together to re-imagine a future of climate justice and collective liberation. Through worship, conversations, and advocacy, we are working together to address the climate crisis and transform our communities.

You are invited to attend a free workshop on Saturday, February 22 with Zr. Alex Kapitan of the Transforming Hearts Collective. It is hosted by First Unitarian in Madison, and you can attend for free. Due to the generosity of an endowed fund, there is no charge to attend, and members of our congregation can attend in person or virtually by Zoom. More information and a link to register.
