Come together, build community, and be with the people around you
(Virtually)

Here is where the Building Unity project is taking our principles into action! Each month, Building Unity is helping people like you host what we are calling Building Unity Gatherings (BUG’s). Before the pandemic they were in community centers, houses of worship, library meeting rooms, and in people’s homes. Now we are having them virtually. These simple gatherings tend to have 4 things in common:

  1. There is usually time to talk, get to know one another, and share food together (as best we can via Zoom). 
  2. There is usually time to share ideas, actions, events, etc. that concern grassroots action to promote peace, justice, sustainability, and/or democracy.
  3. There is usually a program, themed discussion, or activity that celebrates or promotes one or more of our movement objectives. This section of the BUG, includes things like presentations, concerts, “townhall meetings”, candidate forums, letter-writing parties, panel discussions, or a variety of creative expressions.
  4. They are shared by many groups.

These gatherings are a place where people who are concerned about the state of our communities and the world, can find each other and together, move our world into a better direction. They cut the isolation that is all to prevalent in our society and help from all walks of live come to meet each other, hopefully leading to inspired action.
