“Organizing takes time, you have to talk to people, you have to understand where they’re coming from. I think we have to become living ambassadors to an irresistible future where everybody will be seen and respected by their government. Where everybody feels they are taken care of.”–Jane Fonda, 6/9/26
Join us in Building an Irresistible Feminist Future.
Throughout the winter and fall, UUWF will be offering resources, tools, and programming focused on building an Irresistible Feminist Future. We’ll be exploring new ways to use power through a feminist/womanist lens, embracing our political identities, making activism sustaining and sustainable, and more. The future is ours to create–let’s get to work!
UUWF is an affiliate of the Unitarian Universalist Association
We Believe That . . .
- . . . if we do these things, we will see a more just world:
- Build relationships and community with the purpose and supporting long-term liberatory political engagement,
- Learn together how to best advocate and agitate for change, and
- Act by engaging in concrete opportunities to take bold action in our communities
- . . . our liberation is interconnected and shared, and we each must approach our roles and our collaboration with others based on our identities, our proximity to power and privilege, and our recognition that when we know better, we do better.
- . . . voting, democracy, public policy, and electoral politics are critical, collective liberation does not reside in these structures, and we must think more expansively and imaginatively in order to build a world that does not rely solely on the power of the state to define the functions of community.
Our Approach
We are building community in which we can all gain new skills and move into action to disrupt, unlearn, and heal the harms caused by white supremacist patriarchy.
We bring an inclusive, expanded feminist and womanist lens to the use of power. Power is not a finite resource to be weaponized, hoarded, or defended, it is a tool to be shared and expanded to advance the common good.
We make issues of power, misogyny, misgynoir, and racism explicit, and we nurture and support difficult discussions and candid, if uncomfortable, feedback.
If you’re looking for a political home that feels both safe and bold, thoughtful and dynamic, humble and courageous, we’d love to welcome you.
