This week, Side with Love invites you to mobilize into action by paying attention to where you are wishing to be invited in and what you could invite others into. Caitlin Breedlove, UU the Vote 2026 Lead, shares a story of how she and her father build community:
“…When was the last time we went outside? Not just on a hike or walk, but outside of our friends, family, and network? The last time we took a risk, felt awkward, greeted someone we do not know, attended a meeting of a new group, or asked a neighbor for coffee?
When my father comes to visit, he likes to bake cookies for a small army. In order to not allow my kids (or self) to enter sugar shock, every year, I am inclined to wrap some up for neighbors in my townhouse complex, and deliver them.”

Also this week, check out the UU Solidarity Initiative ICE Out! Week of Action
In this time of moral crisis, our faith calls us to live our values through courageous and prophetic action. Join Unitarian Universalists across the country for a national Week of Action, February 2–6, against the violent, immoral actions of ICE. The week will include a 40-hour phone call blitz to Congress, five straight days of virtual action hours led by UU State Action Networks, and an opening event with UU Solidarity Initiative.
