[SRCAction] Potluck, Teach-in and more!

[Ansel Ploog]

Hello Friends,

I have a few Social Responsibility Announcements following our inspiring 
and productive meeting on April 9:

*SRC Potluck*:  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.

Date: *Sunday, April 23rd*  Noon-1pm in the UCM vestry (following coffee 
hour)
RSVP:  Please let Hedi Ballantyne know whether you plan to attend: 
hedi.ballantyne at gmail.com

*White Supremacy Teach-in: *On *May 7*, 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 (ansel.ploog at gmail.com).
