Democracy as Relational Organizing

Our fifth UU Principle calls on us to promote the “the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process.” National UU the Vote Organizer Nicole Pressley writes “organizing and relationship building we do in the course of electoral work is the site of the necessary ideological and spiritual transformation that allows us to imagine and call forth a new world together.” As we look back on an election cycle that highlighted both the importance and the limitations of electoral work, this service will examine the spiritual and organizing lessons we can bring with us moving forward.
