Our democracy is in peril, impacting all of our social justice work and our way of life. We are mobilizing our UU congregations to join forces and work to save our democracy.

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

Using The Four B Model 

This meeting will be a working meeting to jointly plan our strategies moving forward. We will be using the four ‘B’ model to develop our strategies:

• Block: stopping as much harm from happening as possible
• Break: weakening and ultimately breaking authoritarian political strength and its popular support
• Bridge: bringing groups and individuals together to grow our pro-democracy movement
• Build: growing our power and causing transformative change

After an introduction to the model, we will have separate breakout groups for each of the 4 B’s to identify the collective strengths we have, what important actions we can take, and what is needed to enable us to take these actions.
