Our fifth principle of Unitarian Universalism is “the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.”
One way you can promote the use of democratic process is to turn out to vote in Saturday’s runoff election.
More information including a sample ballot customized for your precinct can be found on the Louisiana Voter Portal web site.
Now go out and vote on Saturday.

We will resume our White Fragility book study group with Susan Caldwell and Barbara Deger (using the book by Robin DiAngelo).
This week we will concentrate on Chapter 4 (“How Does Race Shape the Lives of White People?”) with attention to the phenomena of white solidarity and racial silence.
We have additional copies of this book available if anyone else needs one.
We can also order more if needed as well so don’t hang back.
Many thanks to all the people (including several All Souls members) who have been helping to transport, feed, and shelter a large number of immigrants who are being released from detention centers around the state awaiting the outcome of their asylum claims with family members here in the US.
