White Supremacy Teach-In
As part of a call to action for the Unitarian Universalist Association and its member congregations, Rev. Emily Gage will be hosting a conversation about current events in our religious movement and ways to deepen our understanding of white supremacy culture. All are welcome.

It has become clear that, in order for us to be more effective at tackling the white supremacy beyond our walls, we must also identify ways in which systems of supremacy and inequality live within our faith and our lives.
