SUMMARY:EngageGCC Planning Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Next EngageGCC Is April 25!We’re building momentum around the May 7th Pretrial Justice Action. EngageGCC is an important platform for getting the word out.

We want to send out a message of power to the community and its public officials! \n\n\n\nWhy are People in Jail Before Trial?Not for punishment because they have not been convicted.

SUMMARY:Learning to Hate Democracy: The Rise of Right-Wing Organizations
DESCRIPTION:In person or on Zoom  \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Matthew Lacombe\, Alexander P. Lamis Associate Professor in U.S. Politics\, CWRU. \n\n\n\nRight-wing\, MAGA-friendly “think tanks” such as the Claremont Institute\, the Heritage Foundation and the Cato Institute think equality is an unnatural state and democracy is for weaklings. Their influence can be seen in all aspects of national\, state\, and local government. \n\n\n\nIn Ohio\, the Buckeye Institute has been involved in many ultra-conservative initiatives such as promoting charter schools as a solution to high school drop-out rates. The Buckeye Institute is also an affiliate member of the State Policy Network (SPN). SPN is a web of right-wing think tanks and is the tip of the spear of far-right\, nationally funded policy agenda in the states that support extremists in the Republican Party.  \n\n\n\nWhat is the wave of right-wing think tanks? What can those who love democracy do to support our institutions?

SUMMARY:The Surprising Malcolm X
DESCRIPTION:UUCC will show the PBS documentary\, “Malcolm X: Make It Plain” and serve as host to several other area congregations who are actively engaged in promoting anti-racist perspectives and practices. One of the most pivotal figures of our time\, while Malcolm X articulated the global struggle against racism with profound clarity\, he was also\, surprisingly to many\, the soul and vision of fundamental human rights. Transcending the conversation beyond civil rights\, he promoted and demanded the recognition of our common humanity and the inherent worthiness and dignity of everyone\, both locally and globally. \n\n\n\nCome\, be surprised\, and engage with others who are doing their part to create more just and caring communities within their congregations and in society at large. There will be a brief intermission (with light refreshments) followed by a half hour of table discussion ending by 6:30. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 3:30.  The FILM STARTS PROMPTLY AT 4:00.    Pre- registration is highly recommended at kgrochau@gmail.com \n\n\n\nSponsored by: Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland; Community Church of Chesterland; Social Justice Ministry of Federated Church\, Chagrin Falls; and Racial Equity Buddies
