The dangers we face from Trump's MAGA fascism are unprecedented and so is the challenge to confront it. This is fascism and it is rapidly moving to consolidate a more dictatorial rule over the people in this country with all its implications especially for targeted communities, the environment, basic and fundamental rights, science, and truth itself—the very future of humanity. We will discuss these issues and what needs to be done to meet the challenge and actually defeat the Trump fascist program.  UUSF Human Rights Working Group

NOW IS THE TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP IN MASS, NON-VIOLENT PROTEST AND ACT TO STOP THE CONSOLIDATION OF TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in rising numbers — not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program. Refuse Fascism Statement of Conscience

What does it mean to "show up" as Unitarian Universalists right now?  How do we face the onslaught of aggression and misery coming from the MAGA administration?  Our UU values, which include Equity, Generosity, Interdependence, Justice, and Pluralism, direct us to uphold the worth and dignity of every person. They are an antidote and a check on overt and insidious erosions of our liberty by reminding us that when any one of us is harmed, all of us are undermined.  Mari Magaloni Ramos
