Requesting Your Absent Voter Ballot

6/23/2020

Given that the absent voter ballots for Michigan have now been printed and will be sent out on June 25, we are encouraging you to request your ballot now. If you yet haven’t received an application to request the ballot, you can easily do that yourself at www.Michigan.gov/vote. In fact, you can now apply for it online! As well, when you fill out your request, you can indicate that you would like to receive the ballot for both the August 4 state election and the November 3 general election this year, and/or indicate that you would like to be placed on the permanent list, automatically receiving an application for every election. If you have questions, feel free to contact Norma Bailey or David Wagstaff.

Please sign a petition calling on all 50 states to offer online voter registration.

Resources for Anti-Racism Work

6/17/2020

Several years ago, our congregation engaged in some work to learn more about racism in our country – books we read, videos we watched, and displaying a Black Lives Matter banner on our building. Today, especially after what has occurred in the last several weeks, we recognize that we now need to engage in anti-racism work. To that end, we have created opportunities for us to engage in this work.

The Social Justice Coordinating Team (SJCT) recommends the following resources for you to engage in your own anti-racism work:

A List of a Variety of Resources (print, video, podcasts, etc.)
A Reading list for Various Ages
How to Respond to Microaggressions
About the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge
UUA Examining Whiteness: An Anti-Racist Curriculum
An Interview with Robin DiAngelo,
author of White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism
