As people go to the polls and online mailing deadlines close on Tuesday, November 3, we will offer two resources to help ground people through the day. We do this in the spirit of the 5th principle and the UU affirmation of the use of the democratic process. In anticipation of Election Day, UUA President Susan Frederick Gray recently wrote: “As Unitarian Universalists, it is important to remember that our commitment to democracy is not just political or moral, it is fundamentally theological. It grows from our affirmation of the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the Universalist understanding that we are all part of one creation, interconnected. These theological values of human dignity and interdependence are why we know everyone needs a voice in the matters that affect their lives.” On this Election Day and whatever may follow, may we be grounded in these values.
