Thank you Lavona! My thinking is that "National Economic Reform" and "Energy Peace & Justice" are both encompassed within the "Revitalizing American Democracy" CSAI. Especially the first, because with every privatization, with every deregulation, ev…

Thanks Todd!! I have a personal testimony that ties into this topic. I switched from Wachovia and Bank of America in 2008, but found that the Credit Union also practices some "Potter-like" exploitation. One form of usury that banks and credit unions…

Profile Information

How long have you attended UUCAVA?
6 years
What does multiculturalism mean to you?
I think it can mean that you're aware of others in your midst, and that you feel interested in knowing them and act on that.
What religion or spiritual practices did you grow up with?
My parents were lapsed catholics that didn't ever go to church, but were embued with Catholic values.
Tell us a little about yourself/your family/your interests:
I'm an activist, with deep concern about our democracy, which appears to have been hijacked by corporations and big business.
And I'm very proud of the NoVA LUUP effort that has really started to go somewhere. I'm looking forward to the 2010 session of the Virginia Legislature, which I think will have more UUs than ever!

Latin American Human Rights Forum

Friends --
Our church will be the host of a Latin American Human Rights forum Sat. May 1.
We will build on the Guatemala gold mining forum from a few weeks ago that provided astonishing facts about the abuse of citizens and the terrific waste and toxic after effects caused by this abusive industry that is just one aspect of the violations that have become a part of everyday life in our southern neighbors' countries.
From the Latin American para-militaries and… Continue

Would you be available to help hand out web site credentials on Sept 13 and to demonstrate the new web site some of the following Sundays? See the blog post "Sept 13 Launch: Volunteers Needed" - There is a link there to a sign-up spreadsheet. I would appreciate it if you would consider helping in this part of the launch effort.
