I thought some of you might be interested in attending the 10:15 service at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland, which will be led by Unitarian Universalists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (UFETA). Historically, religion has not been a great friend to animals, but there is some hope with Unitarian Universalism, a liberal religion with roots in social justice, anti-oppression, and non-violence. The service includes some wonderful animal stories, music that celebrates all beings, and a "sermon" that makes the connection between animal oppression and all other social justice issues. I am honored to be a voice for animals on Sunday, and I hope you can come and support what I think will be a wonderful, moving service for animals.

 

NOTE: This 10:15 service precedes the 12:30 screening of The Witness/fundraiser for the Oakland Animal Shelter. First Unitarian Church: 685 14th St. at Castro in Oakland (directions can be found http://www.uuoakland.org/directions.htm)

 

For the animals,

Colleen
