Where do we stand? We do not stand. We move.

Rev. Sara LaWall, a Unitarian Universalist pastor, could face a prison sentence for occupying the governor's office during a protest of anti-trans bills this spring.

Beloveds, if you are able, I hope you will watch this Sunday as NASA launches their Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, designed to explore some of the universe’s biggest mysteries, including dark energy.

The telescope is named for lifelong and devoted Unitarian and later Unitarian Universalist, who was also NASA’s first chief astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman. A longtime member of the River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation RRUUC in Bethesda, MD, Roman was as committed to serving her community, especially around issues of poverty and food insecurity, as she was to fearlessly advancing science in her role at NASA.

Details about the launch are in the story linked in the comments below.

Finish the sentence: You know you’re at a UU church when ______.

Every UU congregation has those little moments that make you think, “Yep, I’m definitely at a UU church.” 😄

What’s yours? Drop them in the comments—we want to hear them! 🔥💛

Federal court records have revealed that the First Universalist Church of Minneapolis was among Minnesota churches and community organizations secretly surveilled by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The Unitarian Universalist Association condemns this intrusion into a house of worship and the targeting of people exercising their constitutional rights to organize, dissent, and act according to their faith.

First Universalist has been clear that this surveillance will not deter its ministry or its commitment to its neighbors. As Rev. Jen Crow told UU World, “We are not surprised and we are not daunted because we are clear about who we are and what we do.”

Our faith calls us to courageous, prophetic work—and to act together against intimidation, government overreach, and attacks on the right to organize peacefully.
