SUMMARY:100 Days In: A Town Hall on the Trump Administration
DESCRIPTION:Moderators: Laurie Albright and Mark Weber\, Activists \n\n\n\nMany Americans foresaw a catastrophic collapse of a lawfully governing democracy under a Trump administration\, while a slightly larger percentage anticipated a golden age marked by the creative dismantling of dysfunctional governmental systems. So … how’s it going? \n\n\n\nIs democracy holding up? How’s the economy? What’s the state of immigration\, the environment\, healthcare\, and the social safety net? Is watchdog journalism continuing to decline?  \n\n\n\nHow can we best support the priorities that are dear to us during the next four years? We’ll share our thoughts together. \n\n\n\nIn person in UUCC’s Fellowship Hall\, 21600 Shaker Blvd in Shaker Hts.or via ZOOM \n\n\n\nDue to technical difficulties with the recording\, this forum is not aired on the UUCC YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Join UUs Together Monday March 31 to explore our 6 values!
DESCRIPTION:Join UUs Together\, on Monday March 31 virtually at 7pm to dive into the excellent workshop last Saturday at UUCC. Join us to see how Love and Accountability can help us explore our 6 values!Wow\, what a great workshop on Saturday March 22 at UUCC! Happily we had 7 people from UUCC there. If you saw the service on Sunday\, you got a hint of what was shared. I especially appreciated the frame that Renee Ruchotske offered. She took the two (perhaps) most controversial terms in our new Article II\, and used them to help us think about our 6 values (Justice\, Equity\, Transformation\, Pluralism\, Interdependence\, and Generosity). Attendees were from Pittsburgh\, West Virginia\, Youngstown\, Akron\, East Shore\, SWUU\, and more. \n\n\n\nHere are three lines (17-19) from the meaty section on Values and Covenant. I have highlighted the terms:Love is the power that holds us together and is at the center of our shared values. We are accountable to one another for doing the work of living our shared values through the spiritual discipline of Love.UUs Together\, meeting virtually on Monday March 31st from 7-8:30pm will dive into the Saturday workshop with you! In addition to the stalwart people from SouthWest UU\, West Shore UU\, and UUCC\, we may also have a few folks from East Shore and Akron\, who also attended the workshop.Those of us who attended look forward to sharing this\, as well as some great poetry that was created by a group process\, and other reflections. Please join us! \n\n\n\nSend an email to Laurie at sunnyskies2023@yahoo.com for the link.

SUMMARY:Presidential Voting Systems: Is the Electoral College the Best Method?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert Alexander\, PhD\, Political Science\, Founding Director\, Bowling Green State University Democracy and Public Policy Research Network \n\n\n\nThe US Constitution dictates the Electoral College must determine the President and Vice President. Thus\, each state has the same number of electors as members of Congress.  In 2000 and 2016\, the Presidential Election produced a winner via Electoral College votes but not popular votes.   There is\, however\, a variation in determining state electors.  Maine and Nebraska use a strategic population-based method to determine their electoral votes in each congressional district. Can their strategy be used in other states to create election winners based on the popular vote? Are there other possibilities? \n\n\n\nIn person in UUCC’s Fellowship Hall\, 21600 Shaker Blvd in Shaker Hts.or via ZOOM
