SUMMARY:Film and Discussion: Defying the Nazis
DESCRIPTION:Defying The Nazis: The Sharp’s War\nSunday\, April 23rd from 6:30-9pm\n\nDefying The Nazis: The Sharp’s War\, a 2016 documentary by Ken Burns and Artemis Joukowsky\, tells the story of Martha and Waitstill Sharp\, who made the extraordinary choice to risk their lives in relief and rescue work in Europe in 1939 and 1940.  After 17 other couples had refused the invitation to volunteer to head a committee to aid refugees in Prague\, the Sharps\, from Wellesley\, MA\, accepted.  They are 2 of only 5 Americans (including Ridgewood’s Varian Fry) named by Israel’s Yad Vashem as “Righteous Among the Nations” (non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust).  The film interviews some whose lives were saved\, and the Sharps’ own children whose lives were changed.\n\nJoin Rev. Sarah Lenzi\, Rev. Marc Oehler and Rabbi David Fine to ponder questions such as…\n\nWhere does the courage come from to be an “upstander”? Do we have it in us?\nAs anti-Semitic (and other) hatreds and violence grow\, can this film inspire us to action?\nWhat do we say and do when swastikas show up on local school desks?

Our Unitarian Universalist faith calls us to be lifelong learners\, and organizing traditions teach that we need to share what we know for our movements to grow. Our Squad Skill Ups are a monthly series of trainings on organizing skills to help build our UUtheVote and Side with Love Volunteer Squads and help YOU build stronger teams in your congregation and community. Skill Ups occur the 3rd Sunday of most months. \nRegister now \nOur Skill Ups are held on the 3rd Sunday of each month\, and we put the recordings and resources on our Skill Ups Page here.

SUMMARY:Taproot: A National BIPOC Gathering
DESCRIPTION:This space is explicitly for people identifying as Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPoC). \nClick Here to Register \nThe work of spiritual community is complicated in the 21st century. From busy schedules to the ever pressing tension brought on by systemic injustice\, the need for faithful leadership that is grounded and resilient is imperative. This is all the more true for leaders within our communities and congregations who are Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color (BIPoC). All too aware of this need\, Congregational Life is excited to explore and co-create a network with congregational leaders that support them in this time in emergent ways through Taproot: A National BIPOC Space.
