Ingathering
with Carolyn Monzingo

Becoming a Unitarian Universalist is a very personal choice and an important one.  This public affirmation that you accept the Values we hold dear (Interdependence, Equity, Pluralism, Justice, Transformation, and Generosity all with Love at its core) carries with it the responsibilities and duties we all share.  Join us on Sunday, May, 4, for a meaningful Ingathering when we welcome new members into FMUU.

Human Rights Update
with Barry Nelson

Join us on Sunday, May 18th for a special visit from community organizer and human rights advocate, Barry Nelson. 

​

From Barry:

We are living in interesting times that threatens every one of us. It's not just the programs that are being swept away, but the very foundations to a civilized society are being shaken to its core. Basic fundamental rights are being threatened. Many have been added to the legions of people being denied due process. We have become a lawless nation. What is one to do? I am as much wanting to be a part of a dynamic conversation as I will bring answers or observations. 

I am grateful for all my friends in the LGBTQ, Indigenous, BIPOC and disability communities who enhanced my learning about diversity, equity and inclusion by generously sharing their lives stories. I value my time as one of the founding members of ND Human Rights Coalition, and the ensuing years of board and staff involvement. Likewise, my years with refugee resettlement, healthy community and HeadStart were invaluable. The lifelong friends I've made while serving on boards for progressive organizations are so awesome. Currently, I am an organizer with ND Human Rights Coalition while serving on the boards of the New American Consortium for Wellness and Empowerment, High Plains Fair Housing, Interfaith Alliance ND, the Readers' Board at the Forum and the Parent and Family Advisory Board at Sanford Health.
