To trans and non-binary youth, the UCC acts in solidarity with you. "You are a beloved child of God, created with vibrant love and intention. Within your body rests a sacred offering of God’s multitude. You belong here. We see you. And, we love you!" ucc.org/trans-youth-li…

The House Education & Workforce Committee advanced legislation this week to ban trans youth from participating in school sports. Trans youth are beloved by God and belong wherever they are. Join us in telling legislators we oppose this harmful bill. p2a.co/ue0aFEh

In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. “the time is always right to do right.” In our pain & heartbreak over yet another gun violence tragedy, may we find the moral courage to act. We can rise above partisan politics & narrow self-interest. We are the ones we're waiting for.

Our faith gives us rituals and voice to grieve with those who are mourning. But it also instructs us to let our prayers become actions. We will not stop calling for action from our elected leaders to end gun violence. p2a.co/U80Ftug

We partnered with Power the Polls in 2022, and our collaborative efforts really paid off! Check out some of the findings from their post-election survey, and get excited for more efforts in 2023. Because the work continues! #OurFaithOurVote #PowerThePolls

A message of love to my trans siblings on #TransDayOfVisibility: we are with you hand in hand, heart to heart. We see you, we hear you, we hold you in loving community. Stay strong and keep speaking your truth - love WILL win! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

It’s @dcdirectorsandy’s last official march as director of our office, we’re making it a good one! Trans people are beloved by God!

Trans people belong and we will be out here defending trans rights until all our trans siblings feel the love, safety, and dignity they deserve. 🏳️‍⚧️

I’m out today rallying at the Capitol for trans rights. So moving to see families supporting their trans children. Transphobia hurts everyone. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TransDayOfVisibility

Heartfelt thanks for this amazing journey, my amazing colleagues, and especially my AMAZING UCC DC team: Katie, Thaddaeus, Jessi, Suanne, and Mike. ❤️

Christian nationalism is a serious threat to our faith & to our democracy. Hear from United Church of Christ General Minister and President the Rev. John Dorhauer, in a speech on the need for people of faith to speak out & confront #ChristianNationalism. ucc.org/dorhauer-chris…

Join the over 550 faith leaders that have signed onto a letter calling for #MothersDay2023 to be a national day of prayer, mourning, repentance, and contemplation to address the epidemic of gun violence in our country. Learn more at the link. FOR-USA forusa.org/mothersday2023/

Interfaith partners out in support of reproductive rights!

National Council of Jewish Women Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism @dcdirectorsandy United Church of Christ Religious Community for Reproductive Choice If you see this sign, you know there’s a UCC advocate nearby! We are witnesses for reproductive justice! #StillTheResistance

Today the United Church of Christ marched to the statehouse in Indianapolis to lament and raise our collective voice against the legislative attacks on our trans siblings, and the stripping of our reproductive freedom. #UCCSynod

The smiles of a community of incredible humans dedicated to the work of reproductive justice. After months of planning, the UCC repro team is celebrating a wonderful luncheon filled with discussion, conspiring, and commitment to the continued work for abortion access. #UCCSynod

This timeline took me and @dcdirectorsandy a long time to pull together because there were so many examples of United Church of Christ advocates throughout history defending repro rights and abortion. Proud of this long record!

The #MarchOnWashington 60th anniversary serves as a powerful moment to unite & fight against injustice. Let us raise our voices & march together toward a future where equality & justice prevail. Join us in DC on Aug. 26, or join the livestream! #MOW60 mow2023.com
