Please join us for a conversation with Unitarian Universalist Pastor & Activist Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray as we explore three powerful ways to stay engaged and grounded in challenging times. Rev. Susan was the ninth president of the Unitarian Universalist Association and the first woman to serve in that position. During her presidency, Frederick-Gray helped launch a program called UU the Vote in 2020. The program had over 500 churches and over 4,500 volunteers reach two million voters during the 2020 election. She was elected after serving congregations in Arizona, Ohio, and Tennessee. In Arizona she was one of the faith leaders in a place many consider ground zero in the fight for immigrant justice, she joined a federal class action lawsuit to stop Maricopa County Sheriff Joseph Arpaio from raiding businesses in order to charge undocumented workers with felony identity theft. She was among thirty-one UUs arrested in front of the White House during the three-day “Days of Action” organized by an interfaith group to stop mass deportations of immigrants. Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray has been a trail-blazer, a voice for inclusivity, diversity, justice grounded in the kind of love that changes the world! We hope you enjoy and are inspired as much as we were by this powerful interview AND join the conversation right here on Substack.
