Building Power and Democracy. Two years ago, Unitarian Universalists committed to #VoteLove and #DefeatHate through expressing our values through electoral engagement in the 2020 election. Together with partners and our faith community we supported the largest voter turnout in U.S. history, through advancing our values in local primaries, helping communities register to vote, and reaching out to voters to support them in navigating the increasingly complex terrain of voter suppression. But what does it mean to build power for a multiracial democracy? Join UU the Vote and local partners and activists for discussion about how movements have articulated a vision and strategy for political agency and democracy. Let’s learn how this current phase of the battle for voting rights and electoral justice fits into the larger goal of democracy and collective liberation. Registration required.

Safety Beyond Policing: Organizing Lessons from Minneapolis. In the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020, organizers in Minneapolis built on years of cultural change work and strategic organizing to propose an amendment to the city charter that would have made it possible to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and create a new Department of Public Safety. While this groundbreaking initiative did not pass in 2021, it put abolition and true community safety squarely in the national conversation, and paved the way for future organizing in Minneapolis and across the country. Join Side With Love for this conversation with Sheila Nezhad and Jonathan Stegall of Reclaim the Block and Yes4Minneapolis as they reflect on long-term cultural organizing, building strategic values-based campaigns, abolitionist dreams of a world without police, and the possibilities that lie ahead. Hosted by Rev. Ashley Horan. Registration required.
