Visiting Interweave

Having been a member of the First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee some time ago but still keeping in contact I decided along with a friend to go to the UU Interweave meeting last night. The church has worked hard to become a welcoming congregation to all LGBTIQ people. This was a planning session for the upcoming year to focus on the direction Interweave wants to take.
We discussed about a dozen different topics that we felt that needed to be addressed. After much discussion, the top twelve items were written down on large sheets of paper and the members were instructed to choose three most important topics that need to be addressed. The rest were designated as medium or long range goals that will be addressed sometime in the future. Since most of what Interweave has done seems to be centered on Social Justice issues, it was agreed that perhaps it would be better for us to change from a Special Interest Group to a Social Justice Group because the focus seems to have turned to more civil rights issues for LGBTIQ people within the community.
Beyond that the two co-chairs will be ending their tenure and they are looking for volunteers to step up to the plate. If anyone is interested contact the current leaders and express an interest. I'm sure it will be an interesting and rewarding experience.
The next scheduled meeting will be on April 12 at 6:30 pm. 1st UU at Astor and Ogden. Hope to see you there.
