Believe Black Women
From the March 10, 2021 Anti-racism Daily by Nicole Cardoza
Beyond the obvious racist charges that emerged from the "Harry and Meghan Interview" by Oprah, Nicole Cardoza goes deeper into the nuance of racism against black women, especially those with lighter skin color. I learned a new word - misogynoir - and much more in this brief article. READ IT HERE.

Watch for a congregational meeting
to vote on the adoption of the
8th Principle by UUCSC.
|
|
Building Beloved Community and journeying toward spiritual wholeness isn’t easy. The proposed 8th UU Principle invites us to 'accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.' Dismantling means taking apart something which has been built up. Racism has been built up for over 400 years. Through this 8th principle UUs commit to the hard journey.

Garden volunteers needed. Want to get in shape, create beauty, and be inspired in a fun, informal atmosphere? Join Linda Nowicki and Linda Dupuis in caring for the two front garden beds. We take it easy and slow, minimizing strenuous work. We spread various materials, prune, plant, weed and water. We quit when we're tired. We generally come once a week, but not everyone comes every time. Please contact Linda Dupuis ([email protected]), Barbara Nowicki ([email protected]) or Janice Marielle ([email protected]) for more info.
