Thirty Days of Love is an annual celebration that runs approximately from Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January through Valentine’s Day in February. It is an opportunity to lift up the ways in which Unitarian Universalists and many of our partner organizations are building and organizing by taking bold, courageous action for intersectional racial justice. This service will feature stirring music, deep-hearted reflection, and moving testimonies from a range of UU leaders.Watch the video
