Major Rally to Support Driver’s Licenses/Push Back Against ICE Immigration Regime

Sept. Rally Save the Date – Thurs. Sept. 6th 2018

UU FaithAction, along with many of our immigration rights allies, faith and human rights groups, will come together at 12 noon on Thurs., Sept. 6 in front of the Statehouse in Trenton to protest the continuing harsh “crackdown” on undocumented immigrants in NJ and across the US.

One important protection we can offer here in NJ is legislating a legal process (as they have already done in California, D.C. and elsewhere) for people with limited documentation to prove who they are, take the driver’s exam, purchase insurance and get back out on our roads safely and LEGALLY.

With a valid license, residents with an otherwise unblemished (or very minor) record can’t be detained and deported–simply because of a routine traffic stop.

We hope many of you will join us on Thursday, Sept. 6th at 12 noon at the NJ Statehouse.  Buses will be leaving from various locations across the state to help make transportation there and back easier–more information on that will be forthcoming.

Training Program for Social Justice Leadership Announced

We are excited to let you know about a training program for Social Justice leadership being offered through the UU Rowe Camp and Conference Center. The training will take place over two weekends, one in November and one in May 2019.

The goal of this training is to engage emerging and existing justice leaders in creative, action oriented, sustainable spirit-centered movement, social justice and coalition building.

The new Sustainable Leadership for Social Change certificate program begins this November at the Rowe Center. This program is geared to train new social activists, to explore how we sustain this work and to support those already immersed in the work of justice. They will emphasize coalition and fusion work, sustainability and resiliency, strategy development and adaptability, healthy group decision making and collaborative leadership.

A two-year certificate program with two weekend workshops and two week-long intensives each year.
(Nov. 11-16, 2018 & May 5-10, 2019, Fall 2019 & Spring 2020 TBD)
