"It will destroy the family. The nation. Biblical authority."

That's how opponents describe gender, and Judith Butler wants us to ask: what are the *actual* sources of destruction in this world?

Orange background with a subtle textured pattern. Large white text fills most of the image with a quote:

“Jazz is a metaphor for how a community comes together to build a beloved community. Everyone offers their best and improvises something beautiful collectively, where no voices are drowned out and all have the opportunity to be heard.”

Below the quote, in smaller white text: “– UU Rev. Anya Sammier-Michael.”

In the bottom right corner, a black silhouette of a saxophone player faces left, with musical notes flowing upward from the instrument. The UUA flaming chalice logo appears in white over the lower portion of the silhouette. In the bottom left corner, small white text reads “http://UUA.ORG .”

What does it mean to build Beloved Community?

Each person brings what they have, creating something together—rooted in relationship, not uniformity.

Rev. Anya Sammier-Michael of the UU Congregation at Montclair shares this vision in this recent article: https://bit.ly/3O9Uq0c

Square graphic with a light gray background. At the top is the UUA flaming chalice logo in black, followed by the text “Unitarian Universalist Association.”

Below, a dark red banner reads: “UUA Letter to Trump on Iran War” and, on a second line, “Sign on at bit.ly/iran-signon.”

Centered on the image is a large quote in dark gray text inside a thin rectangular border. A red quotation mark icon appears at the top left of the quote box. The quote reads: “On behalf of the tens of thousands of UUs, their families, and their congregations, we call on you to end this war and end military interventions based on a radical religious ideology that most Americans do not share.”

A wide dark red horizontal bar runs behind the quote box across the middle of the image.
