Community as Resistance #LoveResists
With fascism rising, more people are seeking ways to resist the unjust actions of the current administration. I invite you to check out uua.org/loveresists for a plethora of resources.
I especially recommend this article to assist folks with discernment and preparation to take effective action. https://www.uua.org/loveresists/spiritual-centering/risk-courage-discernment
These are very difficult times. We need to stick together to best get through them. To best survive, it is imperative that we take exquisite care of ourselves and one another. We must pace ourselves for the long haul of needed justice work.
Instead of reacting out of fear, panic or overwhelm, it is important that we ground ourselves with regular spiritual practices to help move the fear through our bodies and hearts. This way our actions emerge from a grounded place of Love as a foundation to work toward justice and liberation.
Together we can make a difference. Together we will persevere through the dark times.
Blessed Be, Diane Melvin Religious Education Director
