We will share the plate with UUANI

UUANI empowers Unitarian Universalists across Illinois to work for spiritually grounded, relationally accountable, and strategically effective action in solidarity with those most impacted by injustice. We provide leadership training, build congregational capacity and organize statewide advocacy efforts in loving accountability with our partners. Our Actions of the Week make it easy for UUs to make a difference. Together, we seek to bend the arc toward justice.

August 11th Getting Connected Rev Joyce

Winnebago Co. Citizens for Choice (WCCC) will hold its next exciting meeting on Tuesday, August 13th at the Unitarian Church, 4848 Turner St., Rockford, IL

Our guest speaker will be Elizabeth Lindquist who will discuss :
1. How to make certain you vote for the candidates who represent your values and priorities.
2. The dangers of the Republican plan “2025”, which, if they win, will totally destroy our democracy.
3. The importance of becoming an activist for Kamala Harris, who will bring back reproductive freedom for all!

We will also announce plans for a March for Reproductive Rights in September. We need all hands on deck to help spread the word.
Thank you,
Barb Giolitto
WCCC President
