Human Rights and Antiracism

During July, while Rev. Sinkford takes a summer break, look to this weekly update for ways that our congregation is responding and how you can engage in our justice work.

Last week with over 300 signatures, including ministers and congregants, First Unitarian submitted this letter to Mayor Wheeler. We demanded he use his power as Police Commissioner to end the egregious human and civil rights violations during the uprising of protest. We have not received a response from the mayor. To lift up our growing concern, congregants have written letters to the editor of the Oregonian. Lena Lee was able to get hers published: Cops Shouldn’t Endanger Protesters.

Read on to stay engaged with our justice mission.
