Something For the Moment
Connect with the Board of Trustees at this year’s Dialogue Sessions: The Board of Trustees wants to meet with you for a conversation on issues vital to our shared profession. We will share brief updates on current issues for your feedback and also understand these sessions as an opportunity for you to bring your concerns and questions.

With deep love and so much gratitude for all our trans and non-binary beloveds, we are creating and amplifying spaces for care and support in the wake of the oppressive ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States regarding gender markers on passports. The UUMA gathering will be on Wednesday, November 19 at 7:30pm ET/ 6:30pm CT/ 5:30pm MT/ 4:30pm PT. There will be two sessions: one for cisgender parents/caregivers of trans and non-binary kids (facilitated by Mr. Barb Greve) and one for trans/non-binary parents of trans/non-binary kids (facilitated by CB Beal). We are so grateful to CB and Barb for holding this space for you beloved colleagues.

In addition, UUMA staff is in conversation with our Trans/Non-Binary UUMA Chapter Leaders and with UUA Staff about additional spaces and places for information, support and solidarity and we’ll share more as soon as we are able.
