Racial Justice Survey for UUFA

We find ourselves in tumultuous times with seismic shifts in opinion on such matters as "How much should our police resemble our military?" and "When calling for reform, what language should we use?" We would like to know what all members of the Fellowship think about these issues. Since all options can't be captured in these few questions, please use the text box to give nuance to your answer.
For further information, contact Morgan Henry: 108thsage@gmail.com.

2. The Black Lives Matter movement first sprang up around the exoneration of George Zimmerman (July 2013) and the killing of Michael Brown (August 2014). What was your general impression of the Black Lives Matter campaign at that time?

The wording was appropriate.

Has that impression changed? If so, when, how and why?

Additional comments

3. How should we, as a congregation, support change in these times? Please give details on both methods and specific changes you feel are needed. If there are concerns about certain statements or actions being too dangerous, please elaborate (specifically in the areas of police reform and/or displaying a Black Lives Matter banner).

We should support racial justice by encouraging members to vote their values, contribute financially, etc. but not display the Black Lives Matter banner on our building.

Display the Black Lives Matter Banner on our building.

Be in discussion, as a congregation, with local government about restructuring the police force.
