<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">We recognize for many of our congregations, this may be the first time you are hearing about our business resolution, as the UUA has yet to publicize our business resolution. We
want to make sure UUs are as informed as possible going in to general assembly this year about the business resolution, our ongoing organizing as young adult Unitarian Universalists deeply committed to environmental justice, and how they can be in support. </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">To that end, we're going to be hosting two information sessions in early June. The first will be
