Side With Love Statement on the Killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis
January 8, 2026
We grieve the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37 year-old mother and legal observer, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis yesterday—an act of state violence that has stolen a life and reverberates through an already-wounded community.
We invite all people of faith and conscience to grieve together, to refuse the normalization of state violence, and to commit themselves to the long work of transforming the systems that betray our deepest moral and spiritual commitments.
Unitarian Universalist Association Condemns Military Strikes Against Venezuela
January 3, 2026
The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) condemns the Trump Administration’s military strikes overnight against the country of Venezuela, done with the express purpose of capturing its president, Nicolás Maduro, and seizing control of the country in violation of international laws. These actions were taken after months of U.S. military harassment resulting in the deaths of Venezuelan civilians and undertaken without involvement of Congress, according to published reports. As people of faith and conscience, it is essential to speak out now as this situation quickly escalates, creating dangers across the Hemisphere.
