These days understandably cause fear and distress for so many beloveds. Fear for individual safety and wellbeing, and for the safety of our families and communities runs deep for many right now.
Please know that as Unitarian Universalists, we will not forsake you. The deep theological roots of our faith, going back to transcendentalists in early U.S. history and inspired by nonviolent resistance around the world, call us to resist unjust laws and refuse to cooperate with oppression. The very symbol of our faith – the flaming chalice – originated as an offering of hope and refuge to all who seek to live freely. We will continue to show up for our communities, demand justice of our leaders, and work together to protect the basic human rights that each one of us deserves.
Ours is a faith of courage, of resilience, and of moral witness. The time to protect our communities and our democracy is now. Holding fast to one another, we will meet this moment courageously, together.
