General Assembly Public Witness 2022: Fund Futures, Not Freeways

When we gather in-person at #UUAGA, we make a commitment to leveraging our UU power in support of locally-led movements for justice through a Public Witness in whatever city we are in. This year, local UU climate justice activists have asked us to join them in their support of youth-led climate justice work in partnership with Sunrise PDX, a chapter of the national Sunrise Movement.

Join Side With Love, UU Ministry for Earth, and our UU youth and young adults for this short action to support Sunrise PDX's Youth vs. ODOT campaign in demanding that the Oregon Department of Transportation "Fund Futures, not Freeways!"

Directions

Friday, June 24 following the Synergy worship, approximately 5:30pm PT

Following Synergy, there will be a UU Ministry for Earth Procession of the Species to the Public Witness event which will be at the Oregon Convention Center North Plaza by the intersection of NE Holladay St. and NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. There's a statue of Martin Luther King, Jr. at the corner of the North Plaza which is also across the street from the Convention Center MAX light rail stop.
