Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
Covid knocked me down for several days, but I’ve turned the corner and am starting to feel better. As I mentioned in last week’s note, this is my first time having it and I’m grateful I got it! I’m grateful for two reasons: I can better empathize with others who’ve had it and I like new experiences, as long as they’re not harmful to myself or others.
Dear LFUU Members and Friends,
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.
Encourage state legislators to protect wild rice & clean water, oppose false climate solutions, and respect Indigenous & tribal sovereignty. Training at 10 am. Group photo at 12:45 pm. Rally in the Capitol Rotunda at 1:15 pm. Legislative meetings scheduled throughout the day. Join MUUSJA and other UUs for this Rally Day!
Event date: March 12, 2025 10:00 AM - 2:15 PM CT
Location: Minnesota State Capitol, 75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Saint Paul, MN 55155
Tell state legislators they need to do everything they can to protect reproductive health, freedom, and abortion access in Minnesota. Rally in the Capitol Rotunda at 1:30 pm. Legislative meetings scheduled throughout the day. Rev. Terri will be in attendance and when you register, you'll get information about how to meet up with her and other UUs for greater impact and companionship.
