Solidarity Summits are regional interfaith gatherings organized by UU the Vote that bring together faith communities, organizers, and advocates to build relationships, develop justice skills, and practice community defense in response to current threats to democracy.Side With Love is the organizing strategy team of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
We harness the power of love to confront oppression and build a world where all people can thrive.
Through organizing, leadership development, political education, and collective action, we equip Unitarian Universalists and aligned communities to take spiritually grounded, justice-driven action in this decisive moment.
Take Action. Build Power. Choose Love.
Justice work is interconnected. When we ground our spirits, sharpen our skills, and organize in deep relationship with one another, we build the future we seek.
The Action Center is where we:
Respond to urgent threats
Grow long-term organizing power
Mobilize together for justice
This is where faith becomes action, and action becomes impact.
