We are a congregation that has taken our role as Ally seriously with regard to several historically marginalized populations. We have a “Black Lives Matter” banner on our church. We offer a land acknowledgement of sorts and engage with Wabanaki people and organizations now who advance justice for indigenous people. We have renewed our status as a Welcoming Congregation (the label for UU congregations who welcome LGBTQ+ people at every level). It is also true that criticisms about well meaning people of privilege being “allies” have solid grounding. Let’s have some honest conversation with ourselves — can we trust ourslves as allies? Are there practices we need to begin, renew, or cease that would help us level up in our allyship?
