Dear Friends -

It's time to "make good trouble."
It's time to stand for compassionate democracy.
It's time to stand against cruelty, fear and despair.

History teaches us how dictatorships rise. And history teaches us what we must do to resist:
▪ Show up in public. Make your voice visible!
▪ Build local connections.
▪ Practice joy as an act of resistance.

The Beacon is connecting, mobilizing, and teaching people in neighborhoods across the nation to take urgent, bold, visible, meaningful, impactful action, as we also comfort and energize each other. Learn more at BeaconForDemocracy.org.

Your contribution will fuel The Beacon:
"Shine the Light!" responds to the question, "What can I do?"
Lessons for Our Time classes offer insights, context and courage through secular and multi-faith teachings.
Joy & the Arts in Resistance feed our spirits and remind us: while the news is distressing, we are doing good work.

Together, we replace silence with action; we replace despair with hope.
No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
Please give as generously as you are able - every gift matters.
Your commitment becomes powerful as we work together. Thank you!

The Beacon is an affiliated program of 501c3 Union Theological Seminary (UTS).
