Healing begins with honest reckoning. As civil rights activist James Baldwin reminds us, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Ministerial intern Liesl Dees draws on her experience in building solidarity with an Indigenous community to reflect on what courage and humility ask of us as we tell the truth about past harms—and begin the work of repair.

On Friday, January 30, UUCB staff will be participating in the National Shutdown in solidarity with the call for justice and human dignity.
No work. No school. No shopping.

As part of this action, UUCB offices will be closed and staff will not be working that day.

Vigil in Solidarity with MARCH Minnesota
Members of our UUCB community gathered here in vigil, while others traveled to Minneapolis, joining a clergy call on Jan. 22 to amplify the demands being lifted on Jan. 23.
We stand in solidarity calling for:
• ICE to leave Minnesota immediately
• Legal accountability for the officer who killed Renee Good
• No additional federal funding for ICE and investigation into human & Constitutional violations
• Businesses to uphold the 4th Amendment and refuse cooperation with ICE
In grief and in hope, we bear witness together.
