UU President Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt joins faith leaders across traditions in proclaiming: transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are holy, whole, and worthy of love. Together, we call out the misuse of religion to justify harm.

Square graphic featuring a quote on a white-to-gray gradient background above a colorful Progress Pride flag. The text reads: “Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people are vulnerable today… Our faiths, our theologies, and our practices of prophetic witness call on us to say with one voice: YOU ARE HOLY. YOU ARE SACRED. WE LOVE YOU. WE SUPPORT YOU.” Beneath the quote, a small gray text box reads “Interfaith Statement in Support of Trans, Intersex, and Nonbinary People, Nov. 12, 2025.” The UUA flaming chalice logo appears in black over the Progress Pride flag, and “http://UUA.org ” is centered at the bottom in a dark blue rectangle.

They THREW THE FOOD AWAY, the greatest of sins to my Depression Era parents. Rather than feed hungry poor people they’d rather rather trash the food.

New reporting reveals the Trump administration cut $500 million in deliveries to food banks across the country.

Food banks were expecting over 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 67 million eggs that never arrived and went to waste instead.
