Dear ,
Any December newsletter has to start off with some acknowledgement of the year past and... well, we all know what this year has been. My December 2019 Envoy News was full of excitement for the many milestones 2020 would bring: anniversaries like the 50th Earth Day and the UN's 75th birthday, as well as opportunities to focus attention on anticolonialism work (on the 400th anniversary of the Plymouth Rock landing) and disarmament work (on the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima nuclear attack).
I'm glad that despite the pandemic's disruption to "normality," Unitarian Universalists did find ways - through our office and beyond - to honor those important milestones, creating online
gatherings, digital commemorations, and creative action. There's always a lot to look forward to in a new year and this time we're setting our sights on the UU@UN Intergenerational Spring Seminar, cohosted alongside the UU Ministry for Earth. The theme is All In for Climate Justice: Food Equity and Sustainability. Join the UU@UN and
our friends at Tzu Chi to start getting involved on this theme by participating in Ethical Eating Day on January 11!
Here are the minutes from the December Envoy meeting. Our next call will be January 19. Please RSVP here.
Take good care and I look forward to being in touch in the new year.
In faith, love, hope, and justice,
