For Unitarian Universalists, resistance to injustice, hatred, and oppression is an important part of our spiritual lives. Today we’ll hear from two congregation members about their justice work as a spiritual practice.
Worship Associate Kirsten Johnson, Special Music from Rachel Avery and Eva Wingren
The Share the Plate for 1/18 and 1/25 is Occupy Madison Villages. Occupy Madison builds tiny homes with and for people without homes. There are currently three OM Villages in Madison, run by the formerly unhoused residents who now live in the homes they helped build. They work cooperatively to govern and operate the villages. You can donate online, write a check, or donate items. Thank you to Ed Kuharski for nominating them.
