Socialism is for Humanity

The COVID-19 pandemic response makes clear that American worker health and safety are not guaranteed, and self-actualization through vocation is a rare workplace luxury. Writes Adam Sacks in Jacobin: “The ultimate aim of socialism is as simple as it is beautiful: the freeing of all people from domination, replacing stunted dreams and alienation with human flourishing and boundless creativity.” Our humanist UU values can help us to imagine and create a future where such flourishing is commonplace.

The fourth and final session of the Black Expressions of UUism series is co-preached by Rev. Mykal Slack and Rev. Taryn Strauss.
