“Do you know what it means…?”
An Owner’s Manual

 

Gulf Relief - Buy a t-shirt and help victims of the hurricanes!

 

What is A Managing Partner Church?

 
We Unitarian Universalists live in a neighborhood of care and commitment. When you wear one of these t-shirts, you announce that, and you announce that you live there, too.
 
When people ask you, “What DOES it mean?” and they mean your t-shirt, this “Owners Manual” will help you tell them.
 
Or, you may want to tell them your own story, how you and your congregation were part of the UUA Katrina Relief efforts. How you gave money, or partnered with a New Orleans congregation to help them build, or stocked shelves in a food bank, or served meals, or about any special project you engaged in.
 
Wear your t-shirt proudly. Wear it everywhere. Get people talking about it not only because we want them to know who we are and what we did, but because we want them to know about the scale of the injustice and need in the world.
 
New Orleans is not just about a hurricane. It is the story of poor people, of people stranded by a government they may have thought they could depend on, of people of color caught in a terrible tragedy.
 
Wear this t-shirt to your district meetings. Wear it to the General Assembly this year. Wear it to meetings and gatherings in your community. Share our stories. Share your story.
Bear witness to need. Testify about tragedy.
 
Know what it means.
