What’s Happening at the NC General Assembly?

North Carolina's General Assembly is back in session.

UU Forward Together has several new resources that can help you keep up with (and take action on) important legislation that is being considered by our state lawmakers, including:

UU Forward Together's federal and state legislative goals for 2019;

a new semi-monthly Legislative Update email to keep North Carolina UUs informed about what's going on at the NC General Assembly (and Congress); and

a new legislative tracking tools that shows the current status of bills related to voting rights, democracy, racial justice, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, health care, poverty, education, gun violence, and other issues (updated weekly).

UU Forward Together Annual Gathering

Please hold the date for UU Forward Together's second annual gathering at the Eno River UU Fellowship in Durham on Saturday, November 16, 2019).

Our first annual gathering last fall was great and this one will be even better!

We're still in the planning stage, but we're hoping that the gathering this fall will include a video address by UUA President Susan Frederick Gray, a keynote workshop featuring the UUA's new and dynamic Side with Love campaign manager, Everette Thompson (a North Carolina native), great food, inspiring worship and singing, time for networking, and additional workshops on immigrant justice and other social justice issues.

More details and information will be shared via UU Forward Together's website (www.uuforwardtogether.org) and newsletters over the summer and online registration will open in late August, 2019.

Love Resists Webinar

This summer, UU Forward Together is offering two more opportunities to participate in a one-hour webinar to learn about the Love Resists campaign:

Tuesday, July 16, 8:00 to 9:00 pm
Tuesday, August 20, 8:00 to 9:00 pm.

This workshop, led by Allison Mahaley (a member of the UU Congregation of Hillsborough, a social justice activist, and a recipient of a grant from the UU Service Committee’s Love Resists campaign for grassroots organizing) will introduce the Love Resists campaign, answer questions about how UUs in North Carolina can join the resistance and grow love as a response to hateful policies, and help even the smallest congregation make a huge difference in resisting the damage of local, state, and federal policies that target minorities.
