Join the UU College of Social Justice, UU Service Committee, and UU collaborators for the United Nations Multigenerational Seminar 2024.This hybrid event takes place September 21-22, 2024 both online and in NYC.
You’re invited to be a part of this faith-based, global conversation about what it means to act in solidarity with community partners around the world working to shape a future where all beings can thrive.
Together we will unpack what it takes to understand our relationship to advocacy, organizing and activism, learn about the United Nations as one tool for change at the highest international level, and explore how we can strengthen the faithful skills required for a grassroots global solidarity practice. Through building connections across difference and place, we can imagine and build a tomorrow where we are all free together.
