Square graphic with a deep teal background and subtle swirling, star-like speckles. Center is a large flaming chalice shape formed entirely from a word cloud of names. in white text in varying sizes and orientations. Curving along the left side of the chalice in large, warm gold text is the phrase “Because of them,” following the contour of the shape. To the right of the chalice, also in gold, are the words “We Are.” At the bottom center of the image, in gold text, it reads “UU Women in History,” with “http://UUA.ORG ” in smaller text beneath it. In the lower right corner, there is a simple line drawing in teal of three overlapping human figures, suggesting community and connection.

In March, we asked: Who is a woman in UU history who inspires you?

Thank you for the names you shared. This word cloud reflects your responses—just a glimpse, not an exhaustive list.

Because of them, we are. 💛

A square graphic featuring a field of pink wildflowers in soft focus, stretching across a gently sloping hillside at sunset. The sky glows warm with golden and peach tones, casting soft light over the flowers and grass. Centered at the top and middle is a quote in black text. The first line, in a serif font, reads: “What do plants do when life gets hard?” Below it, in a larger, flowing script font, reads: “Strew the world with floral beauty.” Beneath the quote, in smaller serif text, is the attribution: “– David George Haskell.” Along the right edge, vertically aligned in small white text, is a photo credit: “Photo by Valentin Petrescu.” In the bottom right corner is the UUA flaming chalice logo in a gradient of pink, orange, and red. In the bottom center, a black rounded rectangle contains white text reading “http://UUA.ORG .” On the bottom left, there are small illustrated flowers in shades of yellow, pink, and green layered over the photo.

In “Emergence Magazine,” David George Haskell reflects on how flowers are shaped by relationship—reminding us that belonging grows through connection.🌼 As UUs, we’re part of an interdependent web. What we tend and sustain shapes the home we share. Read more: https://bit.ly/41W4kpi

"Every time you say it is impossible, you shoot yourself in the foot" - Bangambiki Habyarimana

This month we are talking about Embracing Possibility in our lives, in an authoritarian world, and in our endeavors to be the best we can to each other.

How have you embraced possibility recently?

A large paper poster is taped to a window with a strip of tan masking tape at the top. The poster has a soft, off-white textured background and features a centered quote in large black serif text: “We all take part in this ancient play. At some time. There is no other way.” Below, in smaller text, it reads: “—from ‘At Some Time’ by Rebecca Bryan.” Behind the poster, partially visible through the window, is a display with small objects and warm lighting, set against a dark brick wall. In the bottom left corner, the Unitarian Universalist Association logo (a stylized flaming chalice) appears in white, along with the text “Unitarian Universalist Association.” In the bottom right corner, “http://UUA.ORG ” is written in white.

On Good Friday, At Some Time invites us into reflection.

For Unitarian Universalists, this day isn’t about one belief—it’s about being human: capable of harm, growth, and change.

We recognize the roles we’ve played—and the chance to choose differently.

We’ve come a long way... The tide was turning toward equality when our daughters were born in 1980 and 1983. Perhaps they would be the first generation who could be whatever they wanted to be....

From left to right, an older woman with white hair raising her fist and kicking her foot linking elbows with a younger woman who is holding hands with a teenaged girl with her hair in a ponytail who is holding a glowing white ball with a young girl, who's foot is kicked up and over the UUSJ logo.

An individual crocheting a blanket sitting on the ground. The blanket is a striped series of colors. There are two signs by their feet that read "Each stitch = 1 person currently detained by ICE. Total: 65,735 People". "Abolish ICE Now!!"

Various individuals holding signs with democracy and community as the focus. The signs have slogans such as 'Vote For Democracy, Not Dictators!", "I'm a Grandpa that's why I'm here", "No Kings", and "Hands Off Our Colleges"

On 3/28, Americans across the country united to protest the immoral and illegal actions of the government. No matter how dark the world gets, never forget the light that shines in every single one of us. Together we are strong, and united we will thrive! #nokings #uu #unitarianuniversalist

Square graphic with a blurred background photo of a public demonstration. People stand outdoors holding signs and banners; one visible sign reads “No Kings Since 1776,” and a rainbow-colored banner appears partially visible. Trees and buildings are in the background. Overlaid text appears in bold, high-contrast blocks. At the top left, large teal quotation marks. Across the center, pink and yellow text blocks read: “Together we may help birth a Radical Democracy that the world has not yet known.” The words “Radical Democracy” are in large black font on a bright yellow rectangle; the surrounding text is white on pink rectangles. Below the quote, in smaller white text: “– Nicole Pressley.” In the lower left corner, a black rectangle contains the Side With Love logo: an orange heart outline and the words “SIDE WITH LOVE” in white. In the lower right corner, white text reads “http://sidewithlove.org .”

No Kings opened space—for witness, connection, and a shared refusal of authoritarianism.

But faithful action asks more. Not one protest, but many paths. Not one moment, but ongoing commitment rooted in care and accountability.
