“Senseless Loss and Undeniable Possibility”
In March of this year, adrienne maree brown wrote as part of a blog post that “we have to hold the complexity of senseless loss and undeniable possibility” during this time of covid-19. Our lives have been turned upside down by this pandemic and some of us may yearn for a return to “normal”, but as justice seeking people, we must recognize that amidst the senseless loss there is undeniable possibility to change oppressive systems in our world and in ourselves. Join HeatherVickery, the Coordinator for Congregational Activism at UUCSJ and UUSC, to reflect on the undeniable possibilities for change on Sunday.
Speaker: Heather Vickery (she/her/hers) is the Coordinator for Congregational Activism for the UU College of Social Justice and the UU Service Committee.

She also manages the workshop offerings and group visits to the UUSC/UUCSJ office and assists with the communications for the Activism and Justice Education Team.
Outside of work, Heather is the President of the Board of the First Parish in Malden, Universalist and is an active member of the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network.
