“Start building these connections now.”
The lesson coming out of Minneapolis is clear: when communities are connected, people are safer—and harder to repress. Build relationships, practice mutual aid, and don’t wait for crisis to begin.

The heaviness of this moment is real. Alongside that truth, we’re making space to notice what has helped us through it.
What’s one thing from this week that helped you keep going?
Share in the comments. Hearing from each other helps us see the care and courage still here.

Today, UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt was arrested in Washington, D.C., alongside other people of faith protesting the DHS budget that funds ICE and CBP. “There is no moral justification,” she said. This is a developing story: https://bit.ly/3NKDUDj #UU #FaithInAction #Immigration #ICEOut

Grateful for the sustained presence of religious leaders in #Minneapolis and across the country, keeping our focus on the life that was taken and the danger that a policy of fear and violence at the highest levels of government presents for us all.

Hike LOCATION and TIME CHANGE: December 27 at NOON - SNOWSHOE at HOUSATONIC FLATS
Likely significant snow overnight Friday into Sat., so instead of the original plan, let’s meet at Housatonic Flats at noon for a snowshoe, or bring cross-country skis if you prefer! www.bnrc.org/reserves/hou...

Great to see so many of our folks there!
No Kings Pittsfield was great. Food, live music, and at least 6 blocks of marchers. We were back to the park and some were just stepping off! #noKings #indivisible #BerkshireBrigades

Rev Carol was in DC today and attended a Moral Monday gathering. Part one went smoothly, it seems things went sideways after that. Praying Rev. Barber is safe and well.
Bishop Barber shared a powerful message this morning in front of the Sup Court steps, launching a new Moral Monday campaign. We walked to the Capitol, but not all could enter. Barber was arrested in the Rotunda while praying for moral leadership on the nat'l budget. #MoralMonday #PoorPeoplesCampaign

Sacred spaces must remain sanctuaries. As announced earlier this week, the UUA as part of a multifaith coalition is challenging ICE’s rollback of the sensitive locations policy.

It's Sunday morning & the horrors persist. We continue to gather in community to re-center, refresh & remind ourselves of what is most important.
Today, we share love with our trans kin, who shall NOT be erased, and with federal workers/contractors moving thru chaos & job loss.
