A social media graphic titled Resistance Through Assistance features a quote in black typewriter-style font on a light beige background. The title is written in red cursive with a yellow highlight. The quote reads:
“Offering compassion and concrete help in response to fear and disruptive power... is something that many of us can do. It is a profoundly simple thing to put love at the center. If resistance to injustice takes the form of offering assistance to those most in need, almost all of us can help our neighbors.”
– Zeb Green
In the bottom left corner is a red heart made of two overlapping line-drawn hearts. In the bottom right corner is the red and orange Unitarian Universalist Association chalice symbol. The URL "UUA.ORG " is centered at the bottom of the graphic.
A prayer is written in black typewriter-style font on a light beige background. The red and orange Unitarian Universalist chalice symbol appears in the top right corner. The prayer reads:
Beloved Spirit,
May we remember our shared humanity to all people.
In remembrance, may our hearts be kindled to a deep love.
May this love inspire us to reach beyond walls and barriers to provide care, and to shield all our neighbors from hate and oppression.
– Zeb Green
At the bottom of the graphic is a red continuous-line illustration of a heart being formed between two open hands, one reaching from the left and the other from the right. The URL "UUA.ORG " appears in black text centered at the bottom.
Justice isn’t only won in courtrooms or marches—it’s built through everyday acts of care. In “Resistance Through Assistance," Zeb Green calls us to put love at the center of resistance.

In her sermon, Eaton notes that “Focusing on joy, turning our attention to how joy manifests in our lives, experiencing joy in our cells, seems to spread joy to others. Just as unhappiness can spread, so can joy.”

On a dark blue background, a quote in white and bolded text appears in the right 2/3rds of the graphic and reads:
“Every time I was at the Unitarian Universalist church, I felt welcome in a way I never had before...
It’s a place where everyone belongs and it’s okay to be who you are.
As a member of the church I have guidance, I have music, and I have an expanded chosen family.”
—David Kaye, Wisconsin
A pattern of bright pink musical instruments and audio equipment, including a guitar, trumpet, microphone, headphones, vinyl record, and keyboard, runs down the left side of the graphic.
At the top there's a red square with the white Unitarian Universalist (UU) flaming chalice symbol. To the right of this, in pink script, is text that reads “Faith Journey.”
In the top left corner is the UU World logo in white text on a blue background. In the bottom right corner is a red banner with white text with URL “uuworld.org."
🎶 David Kaye never expected a church to shape his life—but a Motown groove led him to Unitarian Universalism and a community where he could fully belong.

A group of people with The Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt in the center pose together outdoors with on a grassy area with trees and a bright blue sky in the background. Several individuals wear bright yellow stoles that say “SIDE WITH LOVE,” indicating affiliation with the Unitarian Universalist faith. Many are also dressed warmly in coats and hats. Some people hold signs with messages such as “King Trump must Abdicate,” “Trans lives are sacred,” “RESTORE AMERICA’S SOUL,” and “IT’S TIME FOR MORAL COURAGE.”
The Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt stands at a microphone, speaking during an outdoor rally. She wears dark glasses, a clerical collar, a gold stole that reads “SIDE WITH LOVE,” and a purple coat. In front of her is a colorful textile with bright stripes draped over a table or podium holding papers. Behind her stand several people holding signs. One sign directly to her left reads “LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE” with rainbow arches above and below the text. Two other signs, one to the right of the speaker and one to the left of the speaker, both read “IT’S TIME FOR MORAL COURAGE” with “SOJOURNERS” written beneath. The background features large trees, green grass, and a park-like setting. The focus is on the speaker, with blurred heads and shoulders of attendees visible in the foreground.
Grateful for UUs and UUA President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, who joined national faith leaders in D.C. today to urge Congress to act for the common good. In heartbreaking times, we draw strength from shared values and moral courage.

On a bold, yellow background, the following quote appears in black text:
"Jeanette has spent decades fighting for her community. We will not allow her to disappear without a fight. Our faith compels us to love boldly. Our values demand that we take risks. And our democracy requires our participation… We must act."
In smaller, text, the quote attribution reads “Rev. Sean Neil-Barron, Acting Senior Minister of Foothills Unitarian, and the Foothills Immigration Team.”

ICE agents detained Jeanette Vizguerra—mother, grandmother, & immigrant rights advocate—without warning or due process. This is part of a broader pattern of targeting activists & asylum seekers to spread fear.
UU's are in solidarity with all who seek sanctuary.

We can examine the ways we engage with ourselves and each other. We can ask ourselves if our behavior is rooted in punishment, exile, and abandonment or if it offers invitations and creates possibilities to transform individual and collective conditions. @dreanyc123.bsky.social

A digital graphic from the Unitarian Universalist Association featuring a textured beige background with small white specks. At the top, a bold purple banner with a rough, brushstroke-style edge contains white uppercase text reading "TAKING ACTION FOR JUSTICE." To the right of this banner, the Unitarian Universalist Association logo, consisting of a stylized flame within a chalice, is displayed in black.
Centered below the banner, a large speech bubble outlined in purple contains white text that reads, "How do we discern when and how to act?" with a question mark extending out of the bubble.
Below, a second, larger speech bubble outlined in deep purple contains a quote in black text reading:
"The goal is always to live to fight another day. The goal is also to actually fight and not pretend we are fighting when we are actually refraining from participation in meaningful justice work. This looks different for different people." – Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen
At the bottom, centered text in bold purple reads: "Get resources at:" followed by the URL: www.uua.org/safe/community-resilience.
Taking action for justice takes courage, wisdom & spiritual grounding. How do we discern when & how to act? How do we prepare for risk while staying true to our values? Rev. Elizabeth Nguyen’s resource offers guidance for accountable action. 💡 bit.ly/4i6T7sA #Justice #Liberation #UU
