As Unitarian Universalists mobilize for this consequential election day, this community is meeting the uncertainty with community care. No matter what happens, you may need a space to come together to process, reflect and just be with others. Check back to this page as more events are finalized.

- Hosted by UUSJ (UUs for Social Justice–UU advocacy in the nation’s capital).
Join us for a time of sharing what’s on our hearts and minds through an online Zoom that will allow any and all UUs to join in a discussion of joys and/or sorrows and thoughts on the way ahead. Rev. Karen Lee Scrivo will be available to help keep us grounded to our UU faith and provide pastoral care as needed. Kelsey Cowger, Reeb/UUSJ Voting Campaigns Organizer, will help us understand election results and what our project did this season.

Come as you are! Join the UU Young Adults for Climate Justice Community Care open space (ages 18-35).
There is one remaining UU the Vote Online Spiritual Nourishment Group:
- RSVP for Mon, November 16 at 5pm PT/ 6pm MT/ 7pm CT/ 8pm-9:15pm ET
Join this structured, 75-minute, small group experience, with the intention of making space for bearing witness and finding community. This group is a space for people to share stories from their organizing and their justice work, and to reflect on it while others bear witness. As we share and listen deeply, our bearing witness to one another amplifies the joys we feel, and lessens the burden of the sorrows we bear. These are structured, small group experiences; they are not intended to provide support to people in active crisis.
