This Sunday’s programming is being offered both in-person and online.

Do you know some of Universalism’s ties to the birth of the Labor Movement. Discover how Universalist congregants spearheaded early labor efforts, led by the visionary William Heighton. His impassioned speeches, labor newspaper, and creation of the first labor political party transformed the political landscape, all fueled by his belief in God’s universal love and the moral fight against injustice. Don’t miss this exploration of the union between our Universalist faith and the roots of labor activism.

Erica Caldwell is a UU seminarian, anti-war veteran, and anti-poverty organizer. She hails from York County, PA where she lives with her son and has been a Unitarian Universalist for 17 years. Raised on food stamps and love, she identifies most closely with our Universalist heritage and loves sharing UU’s history of economic justice with others.
