Pink Haven Coalition Info Session With UUSC

Rev. Beth Chronister

As many of you know, our trans and gender expansive Beloveds are under attack and being criminalized in many US states right now. This is so serious that they fit the criteria to be designated as internally displaced people (IDPs) by the United Nations. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) are partnering directly with frontline trans-led organizing to create networks of safety and direct support for Beloveds who need to relocate, to access healthcare across state lines, or to stay as safe as possible where they are. Not surprisingly, many families are hoping to relocate to Seattle.

As a congregation, UUC is uniquely poised to help these families land and restart their lives. Last month, Rev. Deanna Vandiver from the UU College of Social Justice joined our church's Interweave group to talk about these efforts. For this gathering, we will be joined by Heather Vickery, UUSC Coordinator for Congregational Activism, to learn more about how we can become involved.
