Samhain blessings 🌙🍂
As the veil grows thin, we honor our ancestors, release what no longer serves, and welcome the dark season with gratitude and reflection. May your candles burn bright and your memories warm. 🔥✨ #Samhain #BlessedSamhain #WheelOfTheYear #uucwf #unitarian #unitarianuniversalist

From Columbus to White Christian Nationalism today - Resources from October Gathering — Side With Love
The Gathering is designed to stoke the fierce love of solidarity.  On Monday, we gathered to remember that the problems we are facing now are not new - they are at least 500 years old. Rev. Dr. Clyde…

As an ex-catholic with a lot of religious baggage (and also a lifelong pagan), I had reservations as well. But I was looking for community and like-minded people. I am still shocked I found it in a church. 🙃

On Oct 18, UUs turned out en masse to say: In the U.S., we have no kings!

In Boston, UUA leaders, UU Mass Action & others joined 125,000 community members to resist growing authoritarianism.

#NoKings #UU
A crowd of demonstrators gathers outdoors on a sunny day, surrounded by green trees and city buildings in the background. In the foreground, three people stand side by side, wearing yellow “Side With Love” shirts. The person on the left holds a handmade sign that reads “FIGHT BACK! PROTECT DEMOCRACY! STOP TRUMP!” written in bold, colorful letters. The person in the middle has their arms raised high in the air, smiling and wearing sunglasses. The person on the right holds an orange sign on a wooden stick (partially obscured) and a notebook in their other hand. Several American flags are visible throughout the crowd. In the background, other signs can be seen, including ones that say “LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL” and “NO KINGS IN AMERICA.” The sky is clear and blue with white contrails crossing overhead. The sunlight is bright, streaming from the top right corner of the image.

It’s about recognizing that every human being has value—no matter who they are, where they come from, or what they believe. It calls #UUs to treat everyone with respect and compassion, and to build communities and systems that honor that worth in action, not just in words. #uucwf

🪔Wishing a bright and joyful Diwali to all who celebrate!
May the light of this season shine with love, hope, and new beginnings. ✨
#Diwali #FestivalOfLights #Joy #Community #Hope #UU #UUA
A festive graphic with a warm orange and gold glow celebrating Diwali. At the top center is the UUA flaming chalice logo with the words “Unitarian Universalist Association.” Below it, large white text reads “Happy Diwali.” Smaller white text underneath says, “May the light of this season shine with love, hope, and new beginnings.” Hanging from the top are glowing orange and gold lanterns and oil lamps with intricate designs. At the bottom are three clay oil lamps (diyas) with bright yellow-orange flames, surrounded by scattered gold confetti. A black rectangular box with white text reads “http://UUA.ORG .” The overall aesthetic is bright, warm, and celebratory.

Went to church this morning, at the Unitarian Universalist church near my home. First time in my life I've gone to church because I chose to, not because I was going with someone else in my life. Very friendly community, very welcoming.

Never march alone. You can contact your local Unitarian Universalist congregation- there’s an extremely good chance some folks’ll be marching together and would love to have you join them. Zero dogma, zero religion and lots of like-minded people!
