Kentucky Civics 101

To be effective in our justice and advocacy work, we need to understand the system through which we are trying to work. One piece of that is to understand our governance and legislative system here in Kentucky. Towards these ends, this month's All Network Gathering on Wednesday, April 7 is Kentucky Civics 101! Our special guest speaker is middle school social studies teacher and lifelong UU Jay Dolen, who will help us understand how Kentucky government is structured.  RSVP here.

Our All Network Gatherings are the first Wednesday of every month.  All Unitarian Universalists in Kentucky are invited to these free, online gatherings.

Racial Justice Team Update

The proposed 8th principle, which congregations in Kentucky have began to consider and adopt, calls us to strive for spiritual wholeness in the work of building a multicultural Beloved Community. We can and must take stock of what we are doing as Unitarian Universalists to address the widespread devaluing of the lives of Black Americans and other people of color. To that end, the Racial Justice Team of KUUJAN has put together an assessment of the needs of our members and congregations in their racial justice ministry work. The survey is short and takes only 5 minutes to complete. Our hope is that we can gather information about the types of support and assistance that Kentucky UU’s would find helpful while exploring their role in accountably dismantling racism.
