[Fuusmchat] Fwd: January Programming from Side With Love

Mon Jan 8 09:01:39 CST 2024

Friends,

Side With Love is a UUA project. They have a whole bunch of worth-sounding
online training, webinars and other events coming up during January. Some
of our Tech Team folks are collectively signing up for the Digital Security
for Congregations class (which has a fee), but others, I think, are free. I
couldn't in good conscience delete this message without sharing it with you
all. I bet some of these events will jump out at some of you....

Dear Chris,

As the Side With Love staff returns to work after a brief break, we’re
looking forward to celebrating 30 Days of Love in a few weeks. Beginning
Monday, January 15, we’ll have a variety of offerings we hope will inspire
you and help sustain your commitment to liberation and justice this year.

In addition to our special offerings for 30 Days, we have a variety of
events this month for congregational staff and lay leaders, listed below.
Please share with your congregation!

And finally, if you haven’t heard, we’re delighted to announce

*January 11: **Stop Cop City webinar series: The Dangers of Private Police

Across the country, for-profit corporations are funding private police
foundations. With this dark money, these police foundations pour millions
of dollars into militarized policing that harms Black and Brown
communities.  Join this webinar to learn about the history of police
foundations and the threat they pose to democracy.

*January 12: **UPLIFT Trans/Nonbinary+ Pastoral Small Group*
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/76562700/447808007/1674518544?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjU0MmJhODA4LTBiYWMtZWUxMS1iZWExLTAwMjI0ODIyMzdkYSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c21Ac3VkZGVubGlua21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=AlRi9YjqTExm1prP-_B0L_NHNUB2HQ_weM9KDDRZejg=&emci=45163be4-08ac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&emdi=542ba808-0bac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&ceid=19297040>

This is a space to share the hard stuff and to hold the hard stuff that
others are navigating in their lives.  During our time together, our lead
chaplain/facilitators will share opening and closing words, and in between,
there is time for everyone to share what's on their hearts, and receive
what others are sharing about their own lives. It's a supportive,
judgment-free place to connect with other trans/nonbinary+ people.

*January 21: **Skill Up: Community Safety & Security*
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/76562701/447808008/-924914083?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjU0MmJhODA4LTBiYWMtZWUxMS1iZWExLTAwMjI0ODIyMzdkYSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c21Ac3VkZGVubGlua21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=AlRi9YjqTExm1prP-_B0L_NHNUB2HQ_weM9KDDRZejg=&emci=45163be4-08ac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&emdi=542ba808-0bac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&ceid=19297040>

Unitarian Universalists are called to grapple with the question of what is
safety? Black liberation organizers say “We Keep Us Safe" as a way to
proclaim that true safety comes from relationship, community and structures
of care and mutuality outside of state structures of violence and control.
How do we build our political and theological commitment to keeping each
other safe in the face of state and interpersonal violence? In this skill
up, Nora Rasman and India Harris will define safety and security grounded
in abolitionist practice, discuss our spiritual mandate towards building
sanctuary and concretely outline what we can honestly offer to ourselves
and each other.

*January 22: **Digital Security For Congregations 101 Training  - Session 1*
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/76562702/447808009/1845790796?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjU0MmJhODA4LTBiYWMtZWUxMS1iZWExLTAwMjI0ODIyMzdkYSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c21Ac3VkZGVubGlua21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=AlRi9YjqTExm1prP-_B0L_NHNUB2HQ_weM9KDDRZejg=&emci=45163be4-08ac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&emdi=542ba808-0bac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&ceid=19297040>

Increasingly, our congregations are finding themselves the targets of
online harassment, phishing, doxxing, and other forms of digital hate –
often as a result of the ways we are embodying UU values in the world.
Unfortunately, many of our UU communities do not have the skills and the
infrastructure to protect themselves from malicious digital targeting that
is constantly evolving.

Equality Labs' Digital Security For All Workshop is a dive into the world
of digital security, and what that means for you and your organization. We
will develop some common ground and shed light on types of attacks and
security concerns that affect our communities, engaging with you at a
strategic level as you plan for your organization.

*January 25: **Faithful Grounding*
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/76562703/447808010/-2078309842?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjU0MmJhODA4LTBiYWMtZWUxMS1iZWExLTAwMjI0ODIyMzdkYSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c21Ac3VkZGVubGlua21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=AlRi9YjqTExm1prP-_B0L_NHNUB2HQ_weM9KDDRZejg=&emci=45163be4-08ac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&emdi=542ba808-0bac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&ceid=19297040>

Join our Side with Love Fun & Spiritual Nourishment Squad for an hour of
spiritual sustenance and grounding with others organizing on the side of
love. Come drink in the music, meditation, play, and prayer. We end with a
Connection Cafe for those who wish to talk together. Show up as you are,
whatever is in your heart, and with your camera on or off as you need.

*January 25: **Webinar Series: Clean Energy as a Human Right - Reimagining
with Energy Democracy*
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/76562706/447808011/-698315220?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjU0MmJhODA4LTBiYWMtZWUxMS1iZWExLTAwMjI0ODIyMzdkYSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c21Ac3VkZGVubGlua21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=AlRi9YjqTExm1prP-_B0L_NHNUB2HQ_weM9KDDRZejg=&emci=45163be4-08ac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&emdi=542ba808-0bac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&ceid=19297040>

We invite you to explore the power of Energy Democracy and the ways our
congregations can reimagine energy for our communities. Energy Democracy
helps frontline communities build power and liberation by reimagining how
we organize our lives toward new systems that support the health and
wellbeing of our communities and ecosystems.

*January 30: **UPLIFT Trans/Nonbinary+ Monthly Gathering*
<https://click.everyaction.com/k/76562712/447808012/-1183722986?nvep=ew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwNS8xLzc5MDg1IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjU0MmJhODA4LTBiYWMtZWUxMS1iZWExLTAwMjI0ODIyMzdkYSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZnV1c21Ac3VkZGVubGlua21haWwuY29tIg0KfQ%3D%3D&hmac=AlRi9YjqTExm1prP-_B0L_NHNUB2HQ_weM9KDDRZejg=&emci=45163be4-08ac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&emdi=542ba808-0bac-ee11-bea1-0022482237da&ceid=19297040>

This is a cozy, drop-in community space for trans, nonbinary, and other
not-entirely-or-at-all-cis UUs and friends of UUism where we connect with
each other with games and breakout groups, share ideas and stories on all
kinds of topics, listen to music and poetry (often by trans/nonbinary+
creators), and much more! This space is intentionally multi-generational.
It is open to and welcoming of trans/nonbinary elders as well as children,
youth, and young adults. Standard UUA online safety measures apply to
ensure all people under 18 are able to attend.
