[Susan Leslie]

Dear Journey Toward Wholeness-News & Social Action Chair-News Readers:
 
Please note -- The Room has been changed for the Pre-GA Social Justice
Gathering on Wed., June 21st, 2-5 p.m., for social action committee
members, racial justice committees (anti-racism teams, diversity task
forces etc., and social justice and anti-racism UU leaders.
 
It is in the St. Louis Convention Center, known as the America's Center,
in Room F.  

This gathering will provide an opportunity for UUs working for social
justice and racial justice to learn ways we can work together to create
accountable social justice programming.  The gathering will include a
one hour session with Lead Consultant for JUUST Change, Paula Cole Jones
of All Souls Unitarian Church, Washington DC.

Advocacy and Witness staff will share information about new resources
and initiatives.

Small groups sessions will allow time for sharing best congregational
practices.

See http://www.uua.org/programs/justice/06ga_SJ_gathering.pdf for
details.

If you have not yet RSVP'd, please write to Audra Friend at
afriend at uua.org and let us know your name, congregation, city or town,
state, and your role in the congregation.

Please spread the word to other social justice and
anti-oppression/anti-racism committee members, activists, and leaders in
your congregation.

Thanks! -- Susan
