<p>Hello Friends,</p>
<p>I have a few Social Responsibility Announcements following our
inspiring and productive meeting on April 9:</p>
<p><b>SRC Potluck</b>: Please sign up to attend this! I would love
to see some of the folks that are on this listserv but are not
regular committee attendees. The potluck is a great chance for
you to talk about the social justice issues that matter to you in
an easy-going, food-centered atmosphere. I will briefly introduce
some of the things the committee has tackled this year but most of
the lunch will be about connecting with others at your table.<br>
</p>
Date: <b>Sunday, April 23rd</b> Noon-1pm in the UCM vestry
(following coffee hour)<br>
RSVP: Please let Hedi Ballantyne know whether you plan to attend: <a

<p><b>White Supremacy Teach-in: </b>On <b>May 7</b>, in lieu of
our regular SRC meeting, we will be hosting a white supremacy
teach-in at UCM after church service. We hope this will bring
attention to the systemic racism that exists even within our faith
organization. This is a national event that will be happening at
UU congregations around the world and has been organized by Black
Lives of UU (BLUU). BLUU has resources and materials available
for congregations that we will be using. If you are interested in
helping with this event, please contact Ansel
(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ansel.ploog@gmail.com">ansel.ploog@gmail.com</a>).</p>
<p>For more information on the teach-in, visit

For Rev. Joan's letter addressing some of the issues and events that
have led to this point, visit <br>
