 Dear ,
I'm sure you join me in feeling inspired and energized by the activism coming out of Florida in the wake of the heart-breaking tragedy there. There's no time like the present to take action for disarmament. It may be too little, too late, but every change we can make is better than nothing, never.
As I spoke about on the February Envoy conference call last week, I had an incredible experience at the 2018 ICUU conference in Kathmandu, Nepal Feb. 12-15. (For evidence, see photo of me riding a rickshaw... Namaste!) You can read all about the conference in the Minutes from the Feb. Envoy Call and also in the blog post I wrote (see blog section down below!). Our next Envoy conference calls will be Tuesday March 20th - mark your calendar now and please RSVP here. The March calls will feature a special presentation about disarmament by UU-UNO Envoy Joanne Dufour from the North Shore UU Society in Lacombe, Louisiana!
Since you should have all received the most recent issue of Act Globally on Friday, I will keep this edition of the Envoy News brief - but be sure to take a look at the Winter 2018 Act Globally for announcements and information about opportunities to engage with global U/U faith in action!
And as a gentle reminder: the deadline to qualify as a Blue Ribbon Congregation is fast approaching: all requirements must be achieved by March 31st! Please contact me by email if you want to check in on how your congregation is doing towards achieving Blue Ribbon status this year.
In freedom, love, hope, and justice,
Allison Hess
International Engagement Associate
