Scan the QR code provided above or go online here to take the pledge.
The All Souls goal is 50 persons taking the pledge from our congregation — we have met 42% of our goal.

By taking the pledge and then following through and voting, you become part of a large and broad coalition of active voters who can let our elected leaders know that we are paying attention and we vote.

Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East (Shreveport Chapter) will be screening FEDAYIN: Le Combat de Georges Abdallah (George Abdallah’s Fight) on Saturday (19 October 2024) at 3:00 PM.
The location for this screening is The Highland Center (520 Olive Street, Shreveport LA 71104).
This 2021 documentary explores the life and struggle of Georges Abdallah — a Lebanese Arab advocate for Palestinian freedom who has been imprisoned in France for 39 years.
Abdallah was convicted in 1984 on charges of fighting with the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions against the Israeli military invasion.
He was eligible for parole in 1999 — yet despite approval by French judges and even a request by the Lebanese government that he be deported back to his home country — the French government has refused and he remains in prison.
