Social Justice Committee News
September 2023:
The social justice committee will be meeting on September 24th following the service and gathering in the RE room at 11:15.
The agenda begins with a review of the PRIDE Festival held in August and ideas for next year. We will also have a discussion of a potential social justice sponsored workshop this fall on Culture. This was suggested after the July meeting with Michael Meuers regarding culture. Looking forward to this coming year!
The Pride Festival co-committee chairs (Ruth Baker and Minna Furfaro) organized a wonderful booth to represent HUUF this year with a crafts table (well attended) and our sales of T-shirts and Pride Flags. We were joined by a MUUSJA member, Rev. Leslie Mills, who brought a powerful energy, and several HUUF members who graciously gave their time to help greet PRIDE folks with their love, energy, and smiles.
We have 19 t-shirts and 6 PRIDE flags left. They will be available for purchase at our social justice area at the Peace Center.
