Dismantling White Supremacy & Creating Collective Liberation

UU 8th Principle Community
- Connecting & supporting California UU congregations adopting and engaging the proposed 8th Principle of Unitarian Universalism
Democracy & Voting Rights
- Connecting & supporting California UUs creating liberation and racial justice through actions that promote democracy and expanded voting rights
