Thanks for coming out to the Fall Festival!
Embedded Files
Unitarian Universalists from across the state gathered with representatives of a dozen nonprofit partners, from the ACLU and SC United to Conservation Voters of SC and More Justice. We had the fun of a banner parade, a puppet show, sign making, food, music, and new connections, along with a serious focus on justice in this increasingly unjust world. Many thanks to all our volunteers, presenters, and sponsors, including the Sisters of Charity Foundation.
In the morning, we learned about what is happening in immigration detention from Amilcar Valencia of El Refugio in Georgia. We learned why there is still reason to work for Medicaid expansion in South Carolina from Cover SC and Appleseed Legal Justice Center. We explored with local and state officials how to communicate most effectively with those who represent us.
Copies of all 22 books banned from public schools statewide in South Carolina were available for perusal at the Fall Festival, and thanks to everyone who supported our recent Faithify campaign, banned books will be provided to every UU congregation in the state who wants them.
Thanks so much to everyone who came out!
