There is a lot at stake in this election, and with that comes stress, anxiety, and fear. Because our Unitarian Universalist tradition calls us into community and inspires us to take action during times like these, we are compiling a list of events and gatherings to help us build bridges, offer and give support, and lift each other up as we navigate the next weeks and months. Check back regularly as we will continually update this list.
