UUSJ Democracy Leaders Event
Tuesday, July 23
7:30pm ET - 6:30pm CT - 5:30pm MT - 4:30pm PT

Our democracy is in peril, and this has an impact on 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 can contribute to a pro-democracy movement capable of thwarting the autocratic movement emerging in the U.S.

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

Our Tuesday, July 23rd meeting will feature presentations by two of our team members.

• Dale Anderson will be providing information about a very helpful checklist he has developed for forming and leading a democracy action team. He will also be providing a list of potential partners for your groups to consider, based on the research we have done.
• Tony Giordano has a great deal of experience with writing letters to the editor. He will present a short training program on this. He will also provide materials and suggestions for creating an “elevator speech” or having a 1 on 1 conversation about what we are doing with the people you meet. .
