The UUA is featuring two speakers for the 2025 General Assembly – Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and Professor Gloria J. Browne-Marshall.
Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign and a leading voice in the movement to end poverty will share insights from her thirty years of anti-poverty organizing, highlighting the unsung heroes leading this work and exploring how the poor must shape a more just society. She will challenge Unitarian Universalists to deepen their commitment to justice and become part of this vital movement to reclaim democracy.
Throughout history, the right to protest has been essential to shaping justice and democracy. Prof. Browne-Marshall will explore the significance of protest in U.S. history, drawing from centuries of resistance and weaving in her own family’s stories. Her words promise to be both deeply personal and universally resonant, inviting all of us to reflect on how we can engage in meaningful resistance against oppression.
