UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour - Friday, October 17th at 11:00am - Conspiracy Theories. Far-right conspiracy theories have been a hot topic in political discourse for almost a decade: QAnon, weather control machines, vaccine tracking chips, and space lasers among them. Unfortunately, conspiracy theories are seeping into culture in progressive circles as well. Join UU Justice NC Congregational Mobilizer Kaleb Graves to talk about conspiracy theories, from how they fuel antisemitism to how they damage our organizing for a just society. There will even be a conspiracy theory game show to keep things interesting!

UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour - Friday, September 12th at 11:00am. This week, we begin a two-part series examining how non-cooperation tactics can be used to combat authoritarianism. In part one, Kaleb Graves will explore the foundational societal pillars—such as the military, media, business, education, and religious institutions—that often enable the rise and persistence of authoritarian regimes. By understanding how these pillars uphold oppressive power structures, movements can strategically target them through nonviolent resistance and civil disobedience. This framework, rooted in the work of political theorists like Gene Sharp, empowers communities to dismantle authoritarianism from the ground up.
