Read how a chance conversation in an elevator with Rev. Jesse Jackson became a personal turning point that led to a lifelong commitment to economic justice, for racial justice for UUSJ Trustee Kim Rebecca-Murray https://uusj.net/wp1/carrying-the-work-forward-a-personal-story-of-rev-jesse-jackson-financial-literacy-and-the-call-for-wealth-equity/
Rev. Jesse Jackson planted seeds in countless peopleβsometimes in elevators, sometimes in crowds of thousands. His legacy challenges us to keep pushing, keep educating, keep advocating, and keep imagining a world where wealth is not a barrier to dignity or possibility.

Square graphic with a dark teal background featuring subtle swirling textures and small gold speckles near the top. Large tan text centered across the upper two-thirds reads: βWho is a woman in UU history who inspires you?β The words are bold and highly legible. Behind the lower half of the text is a large, semi-transparent Unitarian Universalist flaming chalice logo in a deep maroon gradient. In the bottom left corner, abstract teal line drawings outline a group of women standing together, shown from the shoulders up in simple continuous-line style without facial details. In the bottom right corner, small tan text reads βhttp://uua.org .β
Who is a woman in UU history, recent or distant, who inspires you?
For generations, women have shaped Unitarian Universalismβleading, organizing, teaching, sustaining community in countless ways.

I am an Unitarian Universalist atheist taoist. It is a religion that rid itself of dogma. It doesn't tell people what to believe. Instead we look at all beliefs looking for wisdom and are free to decide what fits for our life.
