It’s easy to feel helpless in the face of the racial and economic injustice in our society. This is an opportunity to learn and reflect on what we can do to change it. This workshop is intended to challenge participants towards growth and inspire ongoing work and action.

​During this five hour workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Examine the roots of the prison industrial complex (PIC), its reach and impact on our lives, as well as our ability to transform it.
• Connect Unitarian Universalist (UU) values to the work to divest from retaliatory justice and invest in building new systems of safety, healing, and accountability.
• Begin to build with local/statewide organizations engaged in prisoner solidarity, organizing to end racist police violence, legislative challenges to the system, and restorative justice work.
• Learn about the UU Prison Ministry and how your congregation can support our work.
