Anti-Racist Study Group
Our anti-racist study group meets Saturday mornings with the goal of unlearning racism we’ve internalized that we might not even be aware of.

Ashland BIPoC Sanctuary
The Ashland BIPoC Sanctuary is a community organization previously sponsored by RVUUF and run by Lisa Ebony. Sanctuary founder Kokayi Nosakhere shares his vision for the Ashland BIPoC Sanctuary: “Persons of color in Ashland do not feel safe. They report numerous incidences where they do not feel their Rogue Valley experience matches the progressive vision of Ashland residents. Because little value is gained by vigorously debating this difference, the latest solutionary project is to experiment with the creation of healing spaces within American society where PoC can recover.” Use our contact form to reach out to the BIPoC Sanctuary

Continental Women’s Groups:

• Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation (UUWF) UUWF is a continental membership organization that advances justice for women and promotes their spiritual growth. It is an independent non-profit, 501c3 corporation and one of only three associate member organizations of the Unitarian Universalist Association. Inheritor of a proud tradition, UUWF was formed in 1963 through consolidation of the Association of Universalist Women (founded in 1869 and believed to be the first organization of lay church women in the United States) and the Alliance of Unitarian Women (1890).
• Unitarian Universalist Women & Religion (UUWR) is a network of Unitarian Universalist (UU) women’s organizations and individuals, dedicated to freeing ourselves, others, and the Earth from traditional, historical, and contemporary oppressive and patriarchal systems.
