By Susan Frederick-Gray

…ng to the Pew Research Center, 90 percent of Unitarian Universalists (UUs) support keeping abortion legal in all or most cases. When nearly the entirety of a people believes in affirming their LGBTQIA+ neighbors or supporting reproductive justice, these should be taken as central teachings of our faith.

By Hina Tai

…entity at the end of the day. To me, hijab solidarity does not demonstrate support, but rather a power dynamic. To those who stand with us in solidarity: I love your support, I really do. But I don’t need you to pretend to be Muslim or “look” Muslim in order to be my ally. And so I ask you, please do not demonstrate your solidarity through the headscarf. Hijab has always been a divisive, contested element in Islam and that has no place when it com…
