This month, our Share the Plate partner is The Remix Way.

The Remix Way is a Middle Tennessee community organization rooted in justice, solidarity, and the belief that another world is not only possible — it is already taking shape among us. They describe their work as sacred: not bound to any creed, but grounded in the conviction that justice, dignity, and collective care are deeply holy realities.

Their mutual aid work meets neighbors in their most urgent moments — providing financial assistance to families facing eviction, job loss, or medical crisis, as well as care boxes filled with groceries, diapers, hygiene items, and handwritten notes of encouragement. Monthly community markets called Mercaditos create space for families to sell homemade foods and goods, keeping resources circulating within the community itself.

Beyond direct aid, The Remix Way builds power from the ground up — through Know Your Rights trainings, neighbor-to-neighbor canvassing, and teaching community members how to document and advocate against injustices they experience in local courts and government. When communities name concerns that require broader action, The Remix Way shows up — with phone banks, petitions, public comments, and protests.

And right now, through their Flip-A-County project, they are partnering with allies across Middle Tennessee to resist the spread of 287(g) agreements between ICE and local law enforcement — work that is both urgent and courageous.

As we reflect this month on the theme of Paying Attention, we are invited to support an organization that refuses to look away — one that pays close, compassionate attention to those pushed to the margins and organizes alongside them toward healing and shared power. Their mission and our UU values speak the same language.

We invite you to give generously to Share the Plate with The Remix Way.
