Join our Monthly UU Action Hour!
“I am motivated to take action by the following affirmation in our UU Hymnal by Edward Everett Hale: “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”
Joining UU Mass Action for an hour each month is something I can do!”

We are experimenting with having congregational sponsors for our Action Hours. Learn more and sign up here.
Do you find it challenging to make time to sign petitions, call your legislators, or send emails about issues you care about? Commit to just one hour!
This gathering is an opportunity to hear updates about all our campaigns and take action together, such as calling your legislators, signing petitions, and more to support our frontline and coalition partners. We will focus on our key issues areas: climate justice, immigrant justice, criminal law reform, Indigenous Legislative Agenda, and economic justice. We know that we send out a lot of opportunities to take action each week, and hope this can be one structure to support each other in staying accountable to showing up to these campaigns. We will walk you through each action, and be available to support any questions you have.
This will also be a chance to connect with other UUs from across the state!
Every month there is an optional half-hour from 11:30 - 12:00 PM for those who want to drop in if you anticipate needing extra support (i.e,, if you've had trouble accessing links in google docs before, etc. Most tech will just involve copy and past, and clicking through links!).
Please reach out to Tali with any questions or accessibility needs at tsmookler@uumassaction.org.

“For the past several months, I have joined members of my congregation and other UUs virtually to make calls, send letters or sign petitions to address various justice issues prioritized by UU Mass Action and their coalition partners. UU Mass Action does the hard part of determining where we can make the most impact and explaining why we are taking action. It’s easier to do together and you have others keeping you company. It is a good feeling to think of the impact that can be made.
