Interfaith Dialogue Can Change the World - Noah's Ark

Contacting Your Federal and State Legislators

Soon, UUCB will roll out an email that offers people (1) a meditation that helps us "Seek the Spirit", (2) discussion questions that can help us "Build Community", and (3) 1-2 concrete action steps about social justice so that we can "Change the World." It will be short (to keep your attention) and specific (to be useful and clear in this muddled world). That will start in the coming week or two; in the meantime, here is information from Phil Cooper and Jackie Hall (UU Social Justice) about a specific action you can take to help "Change the World."  http://www.uubloomington.org/sj-legislative-contacts/
