It’s the time of year where there are various holidays for many traditions, both secular and sacred. What makes a day holy and why is it important as Unitarian Universalists to honor holy days, even if they’re not our own?
Immigrants have particular struggles when it comes to financial security and the legal process. Constant changes in immigration from administration to administration can quickly change an immigrant’s trajectory and could lead to financial problems, homelessness, food insecurity, and victimization. These issues can exacerbate issues like domestic violence and human trafficking. Efforts to keep families together are challenged by delays in the legal system and a lack of humane options. John Barry, an attorney with the Orlando Center for Justice, is firmly committed to OCJ’s goal of providing expert and affordable legal representation to our country’s newcomers.
Rev. Tracie marks this Transgender Day of Remembrance by honoring those who have been killed by transphobic violence this past year. As founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith says "the right to simply exist is first and foremost... it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered and that we continue to fight for justice".
