Our Anti-Racism group leaders have generously agreed to include this training as one of their Saturday morning meetings. More information will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, you can learn more about Monica and her work HERE and by watching the video found HERE.

I’m excited about this first opportunity for us to come together from all the UU congregations of Southern Oregon to engage in the work of decolonization and anti-racism, in answer to the call of one of the 2020 General Assembly’s Action of Immediate Witness statements (found HERE), which asks us to ‘Research, identify, and acknowledge the Indigenous peoples historically and/or currently connected with the land occupied by congregations, and find ways to act in solidarity with or even partner with those Indigenous peoples.’

I hope you’ll join me at this training to bring this call to action from our faith into being in our community.”
