Why do Unitarian Universalists work for justice? On this weekend that Madison celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride, we’ll explore how our faith tradition calls us to work to create a world that is welcoming and safe for all people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
Our Share the Plate for August 20th will go to Wilma’s Fund, a project of OutReach LGBTQ+ Community Center that provides relief for LGBTQ+ homelessness or support to prevent homelessness.
