Our democracy is in peril, and this impacts all of our social justice work. It is clear that we need to mobilize our UU congregations to work to save our democracy.

The UUSJ Democracy Action Team is convening Democracy Leaders in an ongoing discussion series about how we can contribute to a pro-democracy movement capable of thwarting the autocratic movement emerging in the U.S.

This meeting series helps us join forces and work together towards a common goal.

At the meeting on August 28 we will be providing suggestions, activities, examples, tools, and information to support your congregation's get-out-the-vote campaign for 2024. Below is the agenda. There will be opportunities for group discussion and Q&A after each item.

• Kickoff meeting ideas; and activities UUSJ, UU the Vote, and other groups will be providing during the next months leading up to the November 5 elections - Fred Van Deusen

• Building a coalition of UU Congregations in Maryland - Ursula Scott

• Having effective political conversations - Mary Cummings and Tony Giordano

• Planning for Post-Election Democracy Emergencies - Dave Roitman
