Tools for Congregations
In a time of growing uncertainty and challenge, congregations are called to respond with resilience, care, and purpose. The Unitarian Universalist Association provides evolving resources to support organizing, communication, and spiritual grounding, while the Interfaith Alliance mobilizes diverse faith communities to defend democracy and shared freedoms. Together, these tools help communities act with clarity and courage.
- UUA, “Grounded, Resilient, and Responsible: Responding and Organizing in Authoritarian Times.” This resource is designed to provide practical support, strategic guidance, and spiritual sustenance as we navigate an increasingly chaotic and urgent landscape. This is a living document, regularly updated to reflect the latest challenges and opportunities.
