We will have 2 breakout sessions. For those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), there will be a breakout room for you. If you identify as BIPOC and would like to join this breakout, please add an asterisk (*) before your name on zoom or let our zoom host know so you are not sorted randomly. Thank you!
Breakout #1 How your congregation presents itself to newcomers and visitors
• Who is responsible for greeting and welcoming in your congregation?
• What kind of education or dialogue is held with them?
• Imagine a first encounter with the congregation, either physically or virtually. What might people notice or experience?
• Who would feel most welcomed? Why? Who might question their welcome? Why?
Breakout #2 Building Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in our Congregations
• In the congregation, how do people learn about affinity group opportunities for BIPOC across the broader Unitarian Universalist movement, such as Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism (BLUU) and Diverse and Revolutionary UU Multicultural Ministries (DRUUMM)?
• Is there a congregational or local UU cluster BIPOC affinity group? If so, how do people of color in the community learn of its existence?
