Thirty Days of LOVE

Thirty Days of Love is an annual program of spiritual nourishment, political grounding, and shared practices of faith and justice, sponsored by Side with Love, a public advocacy campaign that seeks to harness love's power to stop oppression. It is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association

UUFS has adapted this program to include 30 days of Chalice lightings, in the hope that you find a few moments each day to light your personal chalice with the words in the daily links found below.

Day 1: January 21

Week 1: Safety - Decriminalization

A just and abundant concept of safety requires all of us. It proclaims a future where care and safety are abundant because our relationships are cultivated through mutuality, not domination. We act, showing up with and for communities to win campaigns and to grow a network of love, compassion, and care.

Week 2: Re-Imagining - Climate Justice

Take a moment to think about the way you approach climate justice . . . Are you a Reformer committed to policy change? Do you take to the streets as a Resister? Do you orient to dismantling and creating new systems? Do you light up with the possibilities of Recreating? North Carolina Climate Justice Collective
