On October 17, we are making sure every eligible voter knows their options, has a plan to vote early where possible, and is ready to make their voice count. Learn More: www.nokings.org Find an Event: www.mobilize.us/nokings/?utm... Host an Event: www.mobilize.us/nokings/c/no...
Voting Early is How We Use our Power
1. Voting early givs us the power to make our voices heard on our own terms, before Elections Day and before anyone else can decide what happens next. 
2. Our communities are strongest when everyone who is eligible to vote has a plan, knows their options, and follows through. 
3. No Kings: Vote Early is a nonpartisan event focused on voter participation for all eligible voters. It is not affiliated with, coordinated with, or supportive of any candidate or political party. 

Unitarian Universalists believe the vote is sacred. 

On October 17, we are making sure every eligible voter knows their options, has a plan to vote early where possible, and is ready to make their voice count.

No Detention Expansion in Alexandria, Louisiana 

The current administration has been expanding the immigration detention system for almost two years and is planning to open a new facility intended to house families and kids. The administration has also reduced funding for legal representation for unaccompanied children, although some of these actions have been partially blocked by the courts.

Graphic with an off-white background and curved abstract shapes in red, pink, yellow, teal, and dark gray around the edges. Large navy text reads: “We see ICE wreaking havoc in our communities, we see voter suppression increasing, and what we’re saying is we’re done with that. We are going to continue to fight, but also continue to love until we win, until every community has investment in safety and care, and not in ICE.” The words “We are going to continue to fight, but also continue to love until we win” are emphasized in bold red. Below, the quote is attributed to Nicole Pressley, UUA Director of Organizing Strategy. Beneath the attribution are the UU the Vote and Side With Love logos. Along the bottom dark gray band are the white Unitarian Universalist Association logo and name on the left, multicolored curved lines near the center, and “http://UUA.ORG ” on the right.

A 40% cut to victim services funding has already forced programs to lay off staff, cut services, and close their doors. The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (#CVFSA) can help stabilize funding. Senate leadership must act now!
As Unitarian Universalists we believe in Justice and equity. The Crime Victims Fund (CVF) is the primary source of funding for services that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and other crimes. Yet today, the CVF is dangerously low, putting critical, lifesaving services and victims’ lives at risk.
  
The Crime Victims Fund Stabilization Act (#CVFSA) offers a bipartisan, commonsense solution to stabilize the CVF using non-taxpayer dollars, ensuring continuity of services while Congress works toward a long-term fix.

A dark navy rounded rectangle asks, “Do you know this one?” The center section is teal with the heading “UU Acronym of the Week” and three large wooden tiles spelling “A P F,” each with small point values like game pieces. Along the bottom, a dotted multicolor line separates the design from the UUA chalice logo and http://UUA.org . Text reads, “Because UU shorthand can be a whole language of its own,” with a teal arrow pointing right.

Whose code is it Anyway?
Tax Reform as Democracy Reform

As the ultra-wealthy and increasingly concentrated corporations amass more wealth—and use that wealth to buy political influence—the connection between economic inequality and authoritarianism deepens.

But economic inequality is a policy choice, and one that policy can also correct.

Join the Roosevelt Institute as they convene a panel of experts to explore one critical policy tool for the fight to restore our democratic institutions: the tax code.

Shana Tova, may the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and new blessings. Happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate.
Rolling hills, with a jar of honey with a label that says Shana Tova, beside a honey dipper, one and a half pomegranates, and an apple. In the background is a beehive with flowers and an apple tree laden with apples. In the sky is 
May the year ahead be filled with peace, joy, and new blessings.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate.

Arresting clergy is bad enough but ICE arrests anyone it freakin' wants to and doesn't care about due process. Thank you to the Unitarian Universalist (yellow stole) and to all these brave souls defending democracy

Our right to vote wasn’t handed to us. It was won by generations of people who organized, marched, sat in, stood in line, and risked everything to make sure every one of us could have a voice in our democracy.

Now it’s our turn.
