UUs Together explores local example of reparations- Join us!
February 23 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The monthly meeting of UUs Together, Monday February 23 7:00-8:30pm virtually, will turn to the UU Shared Value of Generosity as we learn about the Reparations work of Forest Hill Church, Presbyterian in Cleveland Heights. Forest Hill has made a commitment to “dismantling structural racism by fearlessly applying our faith to advocate and break down the systems, practices, and thinking that underlie discrimination, bias, prejudice, and oppression of people of color”. In October 2022, as part of that work, the church endorsed a financial contribution to help a Cleveland Heights minority person(s), preferably female, pull themselves out of Education debt. At our meeting, Quentin Smith and Mark Chupp from Forest Hill will explain how it was decided that Reparations was the right path, how the funds were raised, the recipient chosen, and the impact it has had. There will be time for questions and answers and, perhaps, to explore new ways UUs can live into the Value of Generosity.
