> UUWF Calls for Careful Scrutiny of the Nomination to Supreme Court
> 
> 
> Based on what is known already about nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, and the desire of the President to install a conservative majority in the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), the confirmation hearing on the second Trump administration pick for the Supreme Court may likely negatively impact the right to safe and legal abortion nationwide, and access to other reproductive health services for years to come.
> 
> Because of these harrowing possibilities, the UUWF has signed on to two letters calling for careful scrutiny of, and pointed questions to, Judge Kavanaugh in the course of Senate deliberations on his nomination to the SCOTUS. One letter is focused on separation of church and government and the other, more specifically, on threats to reproductive choice, including access to abortion.
> 
> We join other interfaith and secular organizations in being deeply troubled by Judge Kavanaugh’s record of statements and decisions on issues related to reproductive health and the right to make private decisions without impediment or imposition. We fear that Judge Kavanaugh, if confirmed, may not uphold the right of a woman to make the best choice for her circumstance— including the choice to seek an abortion by her own conscience, in consultation with her doctor, faith, and values.
> 
> The Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation is a national membership organization advancing justice for women. Since our founding in 1963, we have supported access to comprehensive women’s healthcare and the right to safe and legal abortion and contraceptive services. In doing so, we affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of each person and the right of conscience.

> Thank You from the Women’s March
> 
> The UUWF is committed to supporting organizations that align with our values. We recently made a donation to the Women’s March, who will use the funds to “...continue building a community of women and allies who are working to dismantle the systems of oppression and more forward into a shared future where all women are able to thrive.”
> 
> Mark your calendar for the next annual women’s march on January 20, 2019. #OfficialWomensMarch2019 <https://uuwf.wildapricot.org/EmailTracker/LinkTracker.ashx?linkAndRecipientCode=8iKXazLdpPNnajjmfE2pqDY7VTZhF9%2bQCVvrT1ylFeFyG4xXdtR0lMEsFpbluQK1N97oEn6COq68G8BvwdYuFMhy3qR4AJakw43Y23fh%2bg0%3d>

> Become a Certified Leader for Social Change
> 
> This is no time to be casual in our justice work. We are in a time of change, and we need to have trained leaders in our communities.
> 
> The new Sustainable Leadership for Social Change certificate program begins this November at the Rowe Center in Maine. This program is geared to train new social activists, to support those already immersed in the work of justice, and to explore how we sustain this work. The curriculum will emphasize coalition and fusion work, sustainability and resiliency, strategy development and adaptability, healthy group decision making and collaborative leadership.
> 
> A two-year certificate program with two weekend workshops and two week-long intensives each year.
> (Nov. 11-16, 2018 & May 5-10, 2019, Fall 2019 & Spring 2020 TBD)

> Do You Know Someone Who Should Be Honored?
> 
> Universalist Clara Barton is best known for her work in organizing nursing services during the Civil War and, later, founding the American Red Cross. She did not start this work until she was over forty — in an era when many women died before reaching that age.
> 
> Our Clara Barton Sisterhood was created in her name as a way for local women’s groups, congregations, and individuals to honor women aged 80 and over for their contributions to their congregations and communities.
