Our January Share the Plate partner is Side with Love, the organizing strategy team of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Side With Love confronts exclusion, oppression, and violence rooted in identity. With the goal of building Beloved Community, they pursue social change through advocacy, public witness, and solidarity with those whose lives are publicly demeaned.

Through education, organizing, and collective action, Side With Love supports work for democracy, climate justice, racial and immigration justice, and LGBTQIA+ and gender justice—reminding us that these struggles are deeply connected, and that lasting change happens when we act together, grounded in love.

Side With Love has also supported our wider Tennessee UU community, including a recent grant that helped make the TUUCAN Fall Flock in Nashville possible.

We invite you to give generously today as a way of choosing, together, to Side With Love.

Our December Share the Plate partner is the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) through its Guest at Your Table program. For half a century and counting, UUSC has worked with faith communities across the country to bring our partners’ stories and experiences to your family table. The long-running Guest at Your Table program is a chance to learn about our partners’ work and support our shared efforts to advance human rights.

NOAH will be holding a special "Power Planning Training" this Saturday, Oct. 28, from 10 AM to 3 PM, at West End United Methodist Church (2200 West End Ave). Lunch will be provided. All are welcome! 

This training will dive deep into one-on-ones -- and also look at specific ways to take action to win on the issues that were identified by the NOAH congregations and groups. These are the fundamentals of organizing and extremely useful for where NOAH is right now. There will be specific breakouts for Affordable Housing, Education, Criminal Justice, and Economic-Equity-and-Transportation.  

Please come and be with us!  Register ahead of time at bit.ly/metro-power-plan, so there will be enough materials and food!
