ABOLISH ICE NOW! Lessons in Resistance from Minneapolis

NOTE: Sunday services now start half an hour later at 11am

Our deepest faith values tell us we must ABOLISH ICE NOW! “What Minneapolis taught me is that resisting authoritarianism requires trained, sustained resistance, grounded in truth telling and faithful witness.” 1) Resistance must be trained. 2) Sustained resistance matters more than one-day action. 3) Non-cooperation is a moral strategy.
Twin Cities based MARCH (Multifaith, Antiracism, Change & Healing) is a pro-queer coalition of multiracial faith leaders in Minneapolis / St Paul who sent a nationwide call for clergy to come to Minneapolis JAN 22-23 and be in solidarity with the ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA campaign. Over 700 ministers answered that call with over 200 UUs! All of us have a role to play in the resistance. You are not alone!

REV KEV was ordained by the First Unitarian Church of Oakland on October 1st, 2023, the first day of both Filipino American and LGBTQ History Months. He serves as a Chaplain at Sequoia Hospice, Faculty at Starr King School for the Ministry, and Consultant for Partnership with the UU Church of the Philippines. Rev Kev founded the California statewide chapter of DRUUMM (Diverse Revolutionary UU Multicultural Ministries), hosting quarterly retreats for BIPOC UUs. His ministry is rooted in Collective Liberation where “none of us are free until all of us are free,” as Black Civil Rights Activist Fannie Lau Hamer called us us.
