Visibility Requires Trust: Living our Commitment to Trans Justice
At a time when the word “trans” is being removed from public places, we at UUCF are working to become ever more visible in our support for trans and nonbinary people. This multicongregational Service with Northwest UU and 1st UU Detroit will expand our awareness and affirm our commitment to justice and safety for trans people.
The UU Water Ceremony is our annual Ingathering, our “Welcome Home” service. In this multigenerational service we will share the story of a village council that learns to share their resources with each other. Everyone is encouraged to bring water from their summer travels or from home. The service will be immediately followed by the Memorial Garden dedication.
For over a century labor has been a driving force in anchoring human rights in our law and our lives. As labor unions continue to be under attack, how can we reshape our vision of rights and work in a way that encompasses all of what we do with our life force and allows us to build the power we need to make systemic change?
Our Universalist ancestors believed in a God who loves everyone. Today our UU beliefs take this original idea to mean that WE love everyone. What does that mean in the context of Justice? How do we live our Universalist beliefs in a world that is so full of injustice and inequity? Come let us explore ways we live what we believe and truly make the world a better place for everyone.
