The Unitarian Universalist Association has joined a multifaith coalition representing millions of Americans across dozens of denominations and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection in a lawsuit challenging ICE’s “sensitive locations policy.” This action is an expression of our deeply held religious values which call us to communal care and protection of the most vulnerable.This decision directly interferes with our ability to fulfill our religious mandate and serve all of our congregants equally and with the dignity they deserve. The federal government’s extreme actions challenges a foundation of our faith and threatens to shatter our consecrated spaces. Our faith compels us to take action and protect our places of worship. Read more about the lawsuit and other plaintiffs joining us in this action by clicking here.

UUCM is participating in the UUA’s 30 Days of Love. We are honored to share this week’s resources and practices. Week Three of Side With Love’s 30 Days of Love reminds us that honoring our connections to the elements—the air, the land, the water—transforms our communities. When we fully embrace water not just as a resource for life but as the source of life, we shift from extracting its power to tending to it with reverence. Visit Side With Love to view all this week’s 30 Days of Love resources, including ways to take action, activities for families and journaling practice.
