Justice, democracy, and pluralism demand more than one rally. As UUA Executive VP Carey McDonald said at #NoKings, we build power for the long haul by showing up together and staying organized. Rallies spark it. Organizing sustains it. 🔥

It's like Gould said.

They will always sacrifice our future for their comfort.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
