Response to the Charleston AME Shooting

[Bethany L]

Hello everyone, 

By now you've likely heard about the horrible shooting at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC. 

As Unitarian Universalists, we are called to stand on the side of love with all who are affected by hate crimes and racially charged violence. Below is information for those who might want to show support for our AME siblings -- happening at 6 PM in Worcester and 7 PM in Boston -- and also one offered online with UU minister Rev. Carlton Elliot Smith. There are also a few prayers in case you need one today. 

Vigils

Bethel AME Church (40 Walk Hill St., Boston) at 7 PM
