DESCRIPTION:Register to Attend \nUPLIFT Gatherings\nFourth Tuesdays September-June\n1.5 hours starting at 8 Eastern Time/7 Central Time/6 Mountain Time/5 Pacific Time\nJoin the UPLIFT monthly gatherings for trans\, nonbinary\, and other not-entirely-or-at-all-cis UUs and friends of UUism. Join us to connect with other trans/nonbinary+ UUs and co-create support and community across our faith. All you need to bring is yourself (and other trans/nonbinary friends\, if you’d like)! Non-UUs are welcome if they are OK with being in a UU-focused community (we won’t proselytize). If you are interested in this space\, and you aren’t (entirely or at all) cisgender\, it’s a space for you. \nWhat do we do during the gatherings? They are a cozy community space where we connect with each other with games and breakout groups\, share ideas and stories on all kinds of topics\, listen to music and poetry (often by trans/nonbinary+ creators)\, and much more! \nThis is a drop-in space\, where folks can come and go as works best for them\, and where people can join us at any time. You can be a regular or someone new\, someone who’s been curious for a while but hasn’t yet checked us out\, somebody who is rejoining after time away\, and all other ways of relating to this space! You are welcome here\, and you are loved. \nCheck out our covenant if you’re wondering more about how we are in community together. \nAll-Ages Community\nThis space is intentionally multi-generational. It is open to and welcoming of trans/nonbinary elders as well as children\, youth\, and young adults. Standard UUA online safety measures apply to ensure all people under 18 are able to attend. We’re glad to have you here! \nAccessibility Information\nClosed captioning will be available\, and any common chat content will also be spoken aloud. Please be mindful of processing and communication access\, and speak one at a time. The meeting will not be recorded\, and participation\, as well as what is shared\, will be confidential. There is no requirement to appear on video or to otherwise maintain “conventional” appearances. Any additional accessibility needs? Let us know by emailing lgbtq@uua.org or aballou@uua.org! We’ll do our best to ensure you can fully access the space. \nRegistration\nTo attend the next gathering and join the community\, REGISTER TODAY.

SUMMARY:“Responding to the Anti-Trans Movement” | Finale w/ Alex Kapitan
DESCRIPTION:At our General Assembly in June 2024 the UUA issued the following statement: “On behalf of the member congregations and communities of the UUA\, we proclaim that our principles and values unequivocally commit our faith to honor and celebrate the full spectrum of gender identity and expression.” \nOur faith tradition calls upon all of us to care for those most at risk.  During this time of relentless attack on the trans community\, as Unitarian Universalists we stand by  trans children\, youth and adults.  However\, in order to be effective allies\, and do no harm\, we must educate ourselves. \nWe invite all UU clergy\, staff\, members and friends to please join us for a special program\, “Responding to the Anti-Trans Movement\,” presented by UU Faith Action NJ\, our Reproductive Justice Task Force and Alex Kapitan of the Transforming Hearts Collective. \n“Responding to the Anti-Trans Movement” is a 3-part video series.  Participants are asked to watch the first two videos prior to our program.  We will then gather over Zoom on May 27\, 2025 at 7pm to watch the final video\, followed by a discussion and Q & A moderated by Alex Kapitan. \nZr. Alex Kapitan\, Facilitator\nZr. Alex Kapitan is a community minister\, educator\, consultant and anti-oppression activist. A trans and queer lifelong Unitarian Universalist\, Alex has been working for almost two decades helping people expand their understandings\, open their hearts\, and practice solidarity across lines of gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, dis/ability\, age and more\, along with helping congregations engage in culture shift. Alex previously worked at the national headquarters of the Unitarian Universalist Association supporting Welcoming Congregation\, anti-racism\, and social justice programming\, and has served on numerous faith-based LGBTQ leadership bodies. \nREGISTER HERE \n** Please share this event via internal-facing congregational communications only ** \n\nPlease do share via your congregational newsletter\, Sunday announcements\, and with teams such as your Social Justice Committee and Welcome Team.\nPlease do NOT share via public-facing communications\, such as social media and the front page of your website.

Stories are wondrous things. However\, author and lecturer Thomas King reminds us that they are also dangerous\, as he warns\, “Don’t say in the years to come that you would have lived your life differently if only you had heard this story. You’ve heard it now.” Led by Rev. Charles Loflin\, Executive Director of UU FaithAction NJ.

We briefly outline the talking points\, provide you with a sample script and then the phone number of the legislators to call. And you make the call right there—in real time. \nYou don’t have to prepare.  You don’t have to commit to coming to every single Action Hour.  This is not a committee\, nor a commitment—it is a come-as-you-are-able opportunity! \nCan’t join us on a particular Friday\, or maybe noon is just never gonna work for your schedule?  No problem!  The Google Doc will have all the information you need so that you can take the action at a time convenient for you.  Not only that— we hope you will share the action with your congregation or community\, and our one little pebble can start to produce ripples.
