Remember Election Day (Saturday, 24 April 2021)
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.
