One Small Thing - May 2026 | Social Justice

“If everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light.” - Rumi

The Social Justice Committee invites you to do One Small Thing (one small act) for Democracy, each month. We recognize all that is going on in this world – and especially what is happening in our country right now. It can feel overwhelming, especially to those of us who hold our UU values and specific Social Justice activities close to our hearts. One small thing, one small act, can bring relief, calm, and a sense of community when engaging with others.

Of course, if you go to UUCY, you are likely already doing one small thing. Maybe you’d like to sample another. We will share a variety of things to do, a new idea going forward each month, in the Beacon.

For May, we invite you to join the ICE Vigil at Clugston Road. Pick a day – any Tuesday or Thursday morning to join. You may see others from UUCY there or meet some new folks of similar sensibilities. It is a time to lean into community and experience the strength of solidarity around human rights and justice.
