UCE’s call to dismantle white supremacy, be inclusive, be antiracists, and be accountable continues and we need your assistance!
First, if you have ideas about the process that should be used to organize the Anti-Oppression Task Force, including how to determine membership and mission, please contact one of the following people by November 15, 2020:
- Rev. Susan at sfrances@ucevanston.org or Rev. Karen at kgustafson@ucevanston.org
- Jessica Tomell-Presto, President of the Board of Trustees at BOT@ucevanston.org
- Any member of the REAL Planning Group.
Second, as mentioned in the October 2nd newsletter, representatives from the Board of Trustees, the ministerial team, and REAL are working to find an outside consultant to partner with UCE as we form our Anti-Oppression Task Force. Below is the list of organizations that we are reviewing. If you know of any other organization that you would recommend regarding a racial equity audit or anti-racism consulting, please send that information to Rev. Susan at sfrances@ucevanston.org by November 15, 2020.
Organizations being reviewed:
- Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Ministries at First Universalist Church of Minneapolis
- Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism
- Crossroads of Chicago
- Evanston/Northshore YWCA
- Transforming Hearts Collective
Our first conversation will be with Julica Hermann de la Fuente with the Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Ministries at First Universalist Church of Minneapolis on November 24, 2020 at 7:30 pm. Please contact Rev. Susan at sfrances@ucevanston.org by November 15, 2020, for the Zoom link.
