Join UUs Together Monday March 31 to explore our 6 values!
2025-03-31 19:00 (America/New_York)
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.

Here 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!

Speaker: Grant Goodrich, Executive Director, CWRU Great Lakes Energy Institute will provide an overview of the state of clean energy in Ohio, and discuss innovative technologies and strategies that are creating new opportunities for Ohioans to consider.

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Ohio is among the top 10 states for total energy consumption; however, Ohio ranks 40th out of 50 states in the race toward renewable energy progress.

100 Days In: A Town Hall on the Trump Administration
2025-05-04 09:00 - 10:00
Moderators: Laurie Albright and Mark Weber, Activists

Many 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?

Is 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?

How can we best support the priorities that are dear to us during the next four years? We’ll share our thoughts together.

West Shore's Social Action Film Series
2025-05-10 19:00
The film series is free and open to the public. Hosted by West Shore Social Action Committee.

Common Ground is the highly anticipated sequel to the juggernaut success documentary, Kiss the Ground, which touched over 1 billion people globally and inspired the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to put $20 billion toward soil health. By fusing journalistic expose’ with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, Common Ground unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative “regenerative” models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America’s economy – before it’s too late. Tom Rapini, President of the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association’s Lake Effect Chapter will join us after the film for commentary and Q&A.
