UUSJ and UUA endorsed the PPC during 2018 and helped UU mobilization across the nation in support of the 40 Day Moral Monday Campaign. A video summary of the PPC effort is available here.

 

 

During the 2018 season of direct actions, more than 200 UUs were arrested, including our own John Gubbings, UUSJ Board Member, on May 14th, as was UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, and Rev. Abhi Janamanchi, Senior Minister of Cedar Lane.
