Mission: To promote nonviolent civic engagement that strengthens democracy and condemns authoritarianism, faithfully living our UU values.

In pursuing these ends, we work to:

• Publicize opportunities for congregants to engage in nonviolent protest and pro-democracy actions.
• Train congregants in ways they can increase their knowledge and skills when taking action.
• Support local, state, and national efforts to protect and expand our democratic rights, including the right to vote.
• Educate the congregation about nonviolent ways to resist authoritarianism. 
• Partner with other faith communities and civic organizations to build a broad-based movement.

Example actions we have taken:

• Rallies and marches
• Bridge brigade
• Post-card writing
