Dear UUHA Chapter Leaders & Members,
 
We're really excited to be rebuilding the UUHA - and a key priority of ours is to better support you to create thriving humanist sub-communities within your UU Fellowships. Our goal is to help you promote a strong understanding of humanism - and welcome new humanists - in a way that strengthens your congregation and the humanist and UU movements. 

Some of the things we plan to offer include:

• Free virtual programming/webinars on topics of interest to UU Humanists

• A newsletter, with relevant articles and discussion questions that might be of interest to your group

• A speakers' bureau of people available to give sermons or talks about humanism and are either UU ministers or humanist leaders with UU backgrounds

• Coaching, support, and connection to national groups as needed 

Our first virtual program is coming up next week. The details are below. We hope you'll promote it to your members and submit it for inclusion in your church's newsletter.

UUHA Community Conversation
Tuesday, December 2, 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. Eastern via Zoom

Join the Unitarian Universalist Humanist Association (UUHA) as we host an important conversation with the American Humanist Association. During this program, we will also have some announcements and updates from the UUHA Board and a sneak peak at what is on the horizon for 2026.

Register to receive the Zoom details for this program.

Levers of Change:
Humanist Policy, Politics, and Advocacy
in the Time of Christian Nationalism
Rachel Deitch, Policy and Political Director
for the Center for Freethought Equality
and the American Humanist Association

How do we grow humanist influence at every level of government within the confines of our nonprofit groups? This presentation explores how the American Humanist Association (AHA) and its affiliate, the Center for Freethought Equality (CFE), are pressing every lever available to expand humanist visibility and impact. Learn what’s happening at the federal and state levels, how we’re responding (not just reacting) to the rise of Christian nationalism, and where you can plug in to advance humanist values through advocacy and political engagement. 

We also hope you'll fill out this survey about what you'd like to see the UUHA do. And if there are any updated contact information for your group - or you need help restarting the group - please let us know! 

Sincerely,

Your UUHA Board
