Healing

“I ignite my flame of justice and shine a light on this scar because the healing is not done. The healing is not done because we are still called to do the work of dismantling white supremacy culture and decentering whiteness from our bones: from our congregations, from the ways in which we interact and support each other. We are called to fulfill the promises once made in the name of faith and proclaiming Beloved Community. We are called to match our words with our actions, to bring the holy into our midst by truly and without fear honoring the inherent worth and dignity of every person.” -Rebekah Savage

How can you decenter whiteness from your bones today?

Re-Membering

“We light this chalice—symbol of our faith alive in this world—
naming our vision of collective liberation,
and daring to re-member each other into beloved community.” -Deanna Vandiver

Light a candle (or a chalice) today and name your idea of collective liberation out loud.

A Year of Hope

Lunar New Year celebrations begin today throughout East Asia. In the Chinese calendar, we welcome in the Year of the Rabbit, which is thought to be a sign of peace and hope.

What can you do to make the year ahead more peaceful and hopeful?

Failure

“By no means are we [Unitarian Universalists] perfect; we often fail as much as we succeed. Yet even when ‘we have broken our vows a thousand times,’ we return to this essential work of justice and liberation for all.” -Rosemary Bray McNatt

How do you deal with failures along the road to freedom and liberation?
