UU Justice NC's Friday Action Hour, Friday June 21st at 11:00am - Letter to the Editor - Fighting for Early Childcare Funding If the NC General Assembly doesn't fund early childhood education by the end of June, nearly 1/3 of childcare providers may have to shut down, leaving 100,000 kids without care and families without options. Last week, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation released a report estimating that breakdowns in the childcare system are costing North Carolina $5.65 billion in lost economic activity every year. This Friday, we will be writing Letters to the Editor sounding the alarm about this crisis. Review this week's Actions on our Google Doc, and Join via this Zoom Link.

The UU Climate Justice Revival will equip UU congregations to enter into a new era of climate action faithfully dismantling silos and transforming our congregations through inspiring collective worship, creative learning, and new frameworks at the intersection of climate and justice. Join kindred congregations across the land for two days of collectively recommitting to climate justice. The Revival events will be held in your congregational setting. Gather your justice teams, problem solvers, and dreamers. The Revival planning team will provide everything needed: facilitation toolkits, training, music, projects, coordinated justice action focused on the election and climate justice, and more. No matter your congregation’s size or resources, you can join and together we will enter a new era of climate action. Let's go—appoint two volunteer facilitators who will be trained to participate. Registration fee goes from $50 to $100 on July 1, 2024. (Scholarships available.) Register: https://www.uuclimatejustice.org
