Solidarity Summits

Regional Interfaith Justice Training & Practice Gatherings

Solidarity Summits are an initiative of UU the Vote, a program of Side With Love, the organizing strategy team of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

As part of UU the Vote 2026: Ignite Solidarity, Reimagine Democracy, Solidarity Summits are regional interfaith justice training and practice gatherings designed to strengthen the connections, skills, and capacities needed for this moment.

This moment calls us to build — and rebuild — our understanding of what it means spiritually to be neighbors and to engage in many forms of sacred community defense. Across faith traditions, we are increasingly called to respond to authoritarian violence with care, strategy, and coordination.

Together, moral clarity and organizing power have built essential infrastructure for justice movements: care, imagination, collaboration, and cooperation. Solidarity Summits are part of continuing that legacy.

These gatherings bring together Unitarian Universalists, people of faith across traditions, lay leaders, organizers, advocates, and community partners to strengthen regional networks, deepen relationships, and practice the kind of solidarity this moment demands.
