On the third Sunday of every month from October to June we share half of our plate collections with a non-profit 501c3 organization. The Share the Plate recipients have been nominated and elected by members and friends from a pool of non-profits organizations serving the Coachella Valley and surrounding desert cities.

How do we act as leaders and allies in the fight for justice in a world that is pushing us further and further apart? When is it our duty to be bold and when do we know to step back and listen? We learn from Palm Springs Councilmember Grace Garner about how being raised at UU Fellowship of the Desert (later UUCOD) taught her how to use her position to respect, protect, and speak out for justice even when it isn’t easy.
Join UUCOD the Vote on Sunday, October 20th in person or via Zoom for a discussion of the issues along with pros and cons of each proposition. We will use the California Voter Guide as our basis for understanding the implications of each proposition and will review the positions taken by the UU Justice Ministry of California (UUJMCA) as well as endorsements from other organizations. More info will be found in the newsletter beginning mid-September.

Introduced by the Social Justice Committee in January 2023. Donate formula, which will be given to Galilee Center for distribution to their families with babies.
Why donate formula rather than money? Due to shortages, stores have been setting tight limits on the number of cans per purchase. Our donations help Galilee Center hand out more formula each month to families with babies who are unable to buy it on their own.

We UUs cherish democracy. It grows out of our deepest values of inclusion, generosity, and interdependence. This morning, as we are getting ready for a momentous election, we’ll explore what a spiritual commitment to democracy means and how we can work toward democratic thriving in the reality of our divided culture.
