Awards Ceremony: UU the Vote Good Trouble Congregations – Zoom/Online

February 28, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Join us on Tuesday, February 28, to hear some UU the Vote stories, celebrate our work, and prepare for the work ahead.

From phonebanks, talking to neighbors, and showing up at the polls and drop boxes to protect voter access, the stories and activity of this community have been inspiring.

We are delighted and honored to announce The Frontline’s Campaign Director Tiffany Flowers will be the Keynote speaker for our Good Trouble Congregations Celebration on Tuesday, February 28 at 4:00 pm.

The Frontline was our lead partner in training crucial Election Defenders in 2020 and 2022, and is a powerful coalition made up of Working Families Organization, Working Families Party, United We Dream Action, and by the Movement for Black Lives Electoral Justice Project.

Tiffany will join Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray and other special guests, including our Good Trouble Congregations.

“Speak up, speak out, get in the way. Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.”

Late Rep. John Lewis’ words call on us to find the moral courage to build democracy and society where all of us can thrive. It calls on us to be uncomfortable, to take risks, to engage our communities and face injustice with prophetic imagination and action.

RSVP to watch on your own or email uuthevote@uusm.org to join in a congregation watch party.
