Thanks to Our Letter Writers!

11/2/2022

Thanks to all of our letter-writers who wrote letters to citizens in underrepresented communities in Michigan encouraging them to vote in this important midterm election. We wrote and sent 615 letters on Saturday, October 29!

How to Help with the Election on November 8

10/22/2022

While you may have already voted, many people haven’t. Please share this information with your family members, friends, and neighbors. You could also write letters to underrepresented populations urging them to vote (see Norma Bailey for letters to write). Regardless of what you choose to do, you don’t want to wake up on the day after the November 8 election wishing you had done more to help.

Letter Writing Results - So Far

10/12/2022

To date, we have written 515 letters to underrepresented voters in Michigan while enjoying good conversation and snacks! If you would like to write some letters on your own to add to your effort, contact Norma Bailey who will give you instructions and some letters to write. It really does feel good to be doing our part!

Letter Writing - October 1

10/1/2022

To date, we have written 330 letters to underrepresented voters in Michigan while enjoying good conversation and snacks! One letter-writer said, “It felt good to know that I was doing something to help with the election.” Therefore, we have decided to have two more letter-writing parties, Saturdays, October 1 and 8 at 10am, in addition to the final one on October 11 at 5:30pm. Come join us this Saturday in the fellowship hall if you want to have that same feeling! If you have any questions, feel free to contact anyone from the Social Justice Coordinating Team.

Deep Dive and Relational Organizing

9/22/2022

September 22 at 7-8pm via Zoom
Nomi Joyrich, a MUUSJN consultant, will present a deep dive into all three statewide ballot proposals and training in relational organizing on Thursday, September 22, 7-8pm via Zoom. The deep dive is to help all of us have a deeper understanding of the various aspects of the ballot proposals, and the relational organizing training is a structured way for us to reach out to our own network - family, friends, neighbors, barber, people at the gym, colleagues, etc. – to educate them and get them to vote. Please plan on attending to help achieve the results we need in this most important midterm election! We will be joined by five other UU congregations, and feel free to invite your non-UU friends.
