HAPPENINGS
PEOPLE’S MARCH JANUARY 18
Our Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will host by providing snacks and drinks. People can make signs at UU or borrow our signs. We also have a microwave and fridge. And we have a restroom.
Please park at the 1st Presbyterian Church, across the street at 1130 Johnston.
We all march for different reasons, but we march for the same cause: to defend our rights and our future.
If you believe that decisions about your body should remain yours, that books belong in libraries, not on bonfires, that healthcare is a right, not a privilege for the wealthy; if you believe in the power of free speech and protest to sustain democracy; or if you want an economy that works for the people who power it—then this march is for you.
The People’s March is about one thing: our power. It’s a bold demonstration of the resilience of resistance.
- We march to unite the people who’ve been the backbone of resistance for generations—and to welcome even more.
- We march to remind civil servants they answer to us.
- We march to inspire, energize, and drive change long after the day is done.
This is our moment to remind Washington elites — and Americans everywhere — where the power truly lives: with the people. Let’s make it count.
Thanks,
Chris Menard

Thanks for this newsletter UUers. It’s always interesting to open and get a peek at what you’re up to…always in motion. I’ve been browsing through your newly designed website…a beautifully organized detailed overview, including your unique beginings to what you’ve become…simply put, in my view, a group of the kindest, most caring people I’ve ever meet. ❤️
