At a #protest outside the Alabama Statehouse, UU Rev. Julie Conrady spoke out against policies restricting rights and freedoms (read the story here: bit.ly/4gxG7L4).

As Rev. Conrady said, no leader can dictate who we are. Our identities are not up for debate—neither are our rights.

In the top right corner in a small yellow box is the URL “UUA.org” in the bottom right corner, the Unitarian Universalist chalice logo is displayed in a rainbow gradient. Throughout the GIF, black text appears from left to right, displaying the quote: "The president thinks he has a lot of power. He does not have the power to determine your gender. He does not have the power to define your identity." – UU Minister Rev. Julie Conrady.

The background features an abstract painting with bold red, orange, and pink brushstrokes. At the top, two logos appear: in the center is the dark pink and white flaming chalice UUA logo. To the right of this is the Side With Love logo, which includes a black heart outline and the words "Side With Love" in black and yellow. Below the logos, black text on a transparent white background reads: "When risks are real, how can UU congregations decide which actions and partnerships align with both their values and their capacity?" At the bottom left, a green circular sign with a black outline features the words "START HERE" in black uppercase letters, with yellow stars and a black arrow pointing to a beige box outlined in black and green. Inside the box, black text reads: "Get Side With Love’s toolkit for hosting important risk discernment conversations," and below it, the shortened link "http://bit.ly/risk-discernment " is displayed in bold pink text.

That Biden should have to issue preemptive pardons for men and women who defended the Constitution is a sad comment on Trump's vengeful nature.
