Buffalo, NY and the surrounding Western New York region is one of the most segregated areas in the country. There are sharp divides here that separate people by race and class. The work that UU Class Conversations is doing to educate Unitarian Universalists on race and class divisions and how to make changes toward becoming more inclusive will be a vital and important collaboration that will help Unitarian Universalists in Western New York work more effectively toward dismantling systems of racism and class oppression.
Our goal is to raise money to off-set the cost of bringing UU Class Conversations’ “Create Justice, Not Walls” workshop to Buffalo on November 10, 2018. We want to be able to provide this programming to anyone who wants to attend, regardless of income status. With a successful campaign, we will be able to off-set the cost of the workshop and provide this essential programming to a wider audience.

Project FAQ
This project will bring a workshop about race and class within Unitarian Universalism not only to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo, but also to the many surrounding UU congregations. According to its creators, this workshop will provide an opportunity for Unitarian Universalists from all over Western New York to "learn how race and racism, and class and classism have shaped our lives, our social justice work, and our UU organizations."
The host congregation, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Buffalo, is an urban congregation with a strong commitment to social justice work in the Buffalo area. We strongly believe that this program will be a benefit not only to Unitarian Universalists, but to communities all over Western New York in which we will live out our Unitarian Universalist values in a deeper, more effective way.
