In the last few days, ICE has escalated its efforts to round up, cage, and deport members of the Haitian community in Springfield, OH, who have recently lost the Temporary Protected Status designation. The local Haitian community asked allies to act, to show up, and show out in solidarity. Yesterday, Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice joined UUs from across the country for a vigil and to bear witness to this cruelty.

Rise Up & Demand Justice on August 27th in Trenton at a statewide Summit as we stand together for environmental justice, demand bold action from our leaders, and affirm our shared responsibility to protect one another and all of creation.

As extreme heat claims lives, drought threatens our food supply, and wildfires devastate communities, people of faith are called to respond. These are not isolated weather events—they are the consequences of a moral crisis. We know that the continued burning of oil, gas, and coal is fueling the climate emergency, and that Black, Brown, Indigenous, immigrant and low-wealth communities are too often the first and hardest hit.

Yet another dangerous slip towards even greater authoritarianism.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is illegally trying to give the Trump administration power to choose who gets federal money based solely on the president's political agenda.

Tell OMB to rescind this proposal now!
