“What I do know, beyond any reasonable doubt, is that we are a sanctuary people. We can make that claim. From the powerful efforts of our elders in the middle of the twentieth century through to our congregations and communities offering shelter to migrants today… These are times that will be defined by the continued and increased need for organizing, and a faithful commitment to mutual aid.” — Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt
Last week, our Board unanimously voted to adopt a share-the-plate model for #GivingTuesday 2024. We will donate 25 cents of every dollar donated via our GivingTuesday collection to the Pink Haven Coalition.
Pink Haven is committed to trans liberation to growing community defense, mutual aid, and alternative systems of care for gender diverse people. Donations are used to support relocation to safer states, gender-affirming care, and mutual aid.
#GivingTuesday is our largest annual fundraising campaign, and we need your financial support, now more than ever. And, we need to stretch our generosity, now more than ever, and to deepen our commitment to interdependence and transformation.
Emily, if you are considering making a #GivingTuesday gift this year, please give today.
In addition to a donation of any size, other ways you can lend your support include:
- Share our #GivingTuesday campaign on Facebook, Instagram, or X.
- Ask to make an announcement during your Sunday Service, or submit an announcement to your congregation’s weekly bulletin.
- Tell a friend about UU FaithAction New Jersey! (Hint: you could email or text them a link to one of our recent #GivingTuesday messages)
#GivingTuesday is December 3rd, and our #GivingTuesday campaign is happening now! Join us with a recurring or one-time gift at uufaithaction.org/givingtuesday-2024
In faith, with love, and for justice,
