Join us at Rockwood Community Center or on Zoom

Multi-platform service with Heather Vickery, Coordinator for Congregational Activism, UUSC (Unitarian Universalist Service Committee)

Join us after the service for Q &A with our speaker Heather Vickery. Bring lite snacks to share!

Accompaniment is the radical act of being with someone even when it is hard and you don’t know how things will turn out. With the increase in fascism across our country, our society often tells us to isolate, take care of our own first, and fear the other. However, our faith calls us to hold love at the center, to recognize everyone as family even if we’ve never met, and to support and follow the lead of those most impacted by systems of oppression. Join us to learn of the ways UUs are accompanying trans and gender expansive individuals and families by being part of the trans-led Pink Haven Coalition (www.pinkhaven.org), how UUs accompany asylum seekers, and help others on the frontlines of building the beloved community.

As Coordinator for Congregational Activism, Heather Vickery is responsible for developing and maintaining relationships with UU congregations, State Action Networks, past College of Social Justice (CJS) program participants, and regional staff in order to expand engagement in UUSC and CSJ’s work. Heather is an aspirant to UU Ministry and student at Starr King School for the Ministry as well as an active member of the First Parish in Malden, Universalist and a core team member of the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network.
