Love saved my life. My guess is, it is what saves us all. Thanks for your inspiring work!

The arrests in Phoenix are a great testimony to the UU passion for justice. We stood with escaped slaves and freedom riders. We stand again.

To all our UU brothers and sisters, and everyone else present to witness to the institutionalization of racism in the form of SB1070, please know that you are not alone.

WE STAND ON THE SIDE OF LOVE WITH YOU!!!

We stand firmly with you. Arm in arm even though we can’t all be there. You are on the frontlines of this struggle but you have our support, our faith and our love behind you. Because that is what is needed when fear, hatred and ignorance fuels our policies and laws.

We all come from somewhere else. It does not make us legal or illegal, only welcome or not welcome. And, as people of faith, our question must be: what makes a person NOT welcome? Si se puede!!

In faith,
UU Congregation at Shelter Rock

Love is respecting those who differ from me;
Love means ALWAYS demonstrating the compassion and mercy of God;
Love is unconditional for all humanity

Our work with SSL can have a greater impact when we share the message of love with our community leaders and ask them to work with us.
