I ma happy that U.U's are starting to work with Black Lives Matter and are looking at race, poverty and social injustice and justice. I think another very important issue is indigenous rights and environmental degradation. If we were to support or to promote supporting/ offering help and building relationships groups like http://indigenousrising.org/actionmap/, we would be promoting several UU principles in action. We would be showing that we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every human being respect the web of nature. We would also be honoring our commitments made at the Parliament of Religions to work against climate change and to assist aboriginal people. If we supported Idle no More especially there march against violence against women we would be honoring our commitments made to promote equality and justice for woman, Native peoples, and supporting a group that promise social justice and fight climate change.
