Sundays, September 13 and 20, after the second services Join UUC's UU the Vote team members to write postcards together after the UUC second services on Sunday, September 13, downstairs in the King room, 1–2 p.m. and/or Sunday, September 20 in Knatvold, 12:45-1:45 p.m. Postcard packets are also available in the church office to take home and complete. The Virginia postcards should be mailed ASAP as they start early voting as of September 17. All cards need to be mailed by October 13. We recommend sending at the earliest date listed on the scripts, since they have to go across the country. The packets available in the church office include Reclaim Our Vote postcards (with 20 addresses and scripts/needed materials included except for stamps) to be written and mailed to select voters in Texas, North Carolina and Virginia as part of a “Get Out the Vote” campaign for the 2026 midterm U.S. legislative elections; all the Georgia ones have been handed out. Many thanks to everyone participating! We are down to about 20 remaining packets (out of 100). Reclaim Our Vote is the partner organization with the UUA Side with Love UU the Vote Project: “Reclaim Our Vote is a grassroots, primarily volunteer-run campaign that focuses on increasing BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) voter turnout through post-carding, texting, and phone banking. Working with local, on-the-ground partners and our Democracy Centers, we build effective, respectful, and relevant campaigns that engage BIPOC voters around upcoming elections.” Check out the Reclaim Our Vote website for more information and/or to sign up for their textbanking and phonebanking efforts . Please let us know if you have any questions. UUC's UU the Vote Co-Chairs Betty and Meta Betty Williams - Betty.Susan.Williams@gmail.com Meta Thayer - metathayer@gmail.com

Sunday, September 13, 12:30–1:30 p.m. in Emerson and via Zoom The Climate Action Team will meet this Sunday . Everyone is welcome. This week we're highlighting two more climate groups based in Seattle , brought to our attention by Mollie Grow. Climate Solutions https://www.climatesolutions.org/about-us Its vision is a “thriving, equitable Northwest, powered by clean energy, inspiring the transition to sustainable prosperity across the nation and beyond.” Its mission is to accelerate clean energy solutions. Climate Solutions works primarily “to pass and implement policies at the state level.” It works with “legislatures, utility commissions, and regulatory agencies, and at times directly with voters on initiatives, and also with major counties and cities.” They work in partnership with a broad group of allies to achieve solutions that invest in the communities most impacted by climate change. Climate Solutions does the research: in 2024, they explored how gas utilities can plan for the energy transition and protect low-income ratepayers. Climate Action Families https://climateactionfamilies.org/about/ Climate Action Families operates as an intergenerational community supporting youth plaintiffs in legal, legislative, and public outreach campaigns. It partners with Our Children’s Trust which “empowers young people to enforce their constitutional rights in court when governments endanger their lives, health, and futures by fueling the climate crisis.” In 2024, youth worked to pass WA HB1368 which requires replacement of all polluting school buses by 2035.

Sunday, September 13, before and after the services, and 2–5 p.m. in the UUC parking lot
