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).
No Kings 3.0 will be on March 28th 12-2 PM. Local protests in both Auburn and Roseville. Join us for a sign-making party on March 21, 10-12PM
