Reeb May 8 DC Statehood Event
*** Join the All Souls community and the Reeb Project Saturday, May 8, for an afternoon of fellowship, pre-Mother's Day festivities, and neighborly social justice! ***
As many of you know, All Souls will be hosting its 2021 Mother's Day Plant Sale at the church on Saturday, May 8. In addition, the Reeb Voting Rights Project will be on site to help our community come together and support DC Statehood bills moving though Congress now.
Specifically, Reeb will be:
• delivering yard signs supporting the DC Statehood bills; and
• interviewing Reeb members eager to voice their support for DC Statehood.
Would you like a yard sign to support DC statehood? Anyone is welcome to a sign free of charge. However, donations are appreciated to cover the cost of the signs (they are $6 each) and the ongoing ministries of the church. If you are able to donate $6, $25, $51 (or anything less or more), it is appreciated! Follow the link after completing this form.
Interviews will be woven together by a gracious team of Reeb and All Souls volunteers. The video will be sent to UU congregations nationwide encouraging UU's who are passionate about social justice to urge their local members of Congress to help get the DC Statehood bills passed. Please indicate below whether you'd like to contribute to the DC Statehood video so we can plan accordingly.
Thank you so much!
