Come meet us at General Assembly!
General Assembly (GA) is a special opportunity for Unitarian Universalists to worship, witness, learn, connect, and join together in advancing human rights. The UU College of Social Justice has planned some exciting workshops and events in Providence, R.I. Also, you can stop by the UUA Expressway to say hello. We would love a chance to meet with you and help you find your place in the exciting work we do.
