At our 2025 General Assembly, Unitarian Universalists committed to several years of study around Abolition, Transformation, and Faith Formation. We are inspired and led by the Church of the Larger Fellowship, home to over 2,000 incarcerated UUs. They define abolition as a holistic approach to systemic social change that includes, but is not limited to: the abolition of slavery; replacing systems and cultures of violence, coercion and control with transformative justice and relational practices; and dismantling the prison-industrial complex as we now know it. Learn more at clfuu.org/abolition/. This Sunday, our guest speaker will bring a fresh perspective on how Unitarian Universalists can embody an abolitionist framework in all aspects of our lives.
