There's lots of action happening - and needed! - in the days ahead. Please join us in saying no to divisive measures such as the Voter ID bill in the Minnesota Senate, and the anti-marriage amendment headed to a public vote this fall. Your voice for choice is needed, too.

We also invite you to join us at the Prairie Star District Annual Conference in mid-April right here in Minnesota. We're working closely with the District on a special pre-conference social justice training "Imagining a Peace Dividend: The Economics of Peace and War" on Friday, April 13th.

And one more important event: MUUSJA's annual General Meeting is Sunday, April 29th. We will be sharing the results of our Appreciative Inquiry process that so many of you participated in. We're exited to be talking with you about how together we are shaping the next three to five years of UU justice-making in Minnesota. Watch for a detailed invite early next month.
In faith,
