Protests

Members of our congregation will protest for issues related to our values. Unitarian Universalists support the democratic process both in our congregations and in society at large. We side with Justice (we work for a better world for everyone), Equity (we work for a peaceful and fair world), and Pluralism (we make room for different cultures, experiences, and beliefs).
