The Rock and Run for Justice:

…..December 26th-28th youth and advisers from across the metro district took part in the second annual Rock and Run for Justice. The event, which was held at the Hastings congregation, was a great success.

……Friday night, all attendees took part in the ‘run’ part of the rock and run, working with the organization Midnight Run. Through Midnight Run, groups go into Manhattan and hand out food, toiletries, and clothing to the homeless at designated stops. However, the most important part of these runs are not the items that are shared, but rather the dialogue that arises and the strong sense of community that is established between the homeless and the participants. This year, there were enough participants to go on three routes. The runs were a tremendous success, and a life changing experience for many.

……Saturday was filled with a variety of social action workshops, including dialogues on issues including anti-racism, queer identity, the midnight run, anti-sexism, sustainable agriculture and more. Workshops were followed by our key-note speaker, Gabriel Bol Deng, who spoke about his life as a refugee from Sudan, and his current work to found a school is his home village. Deng’s speech was truly inspiring, and greatly appreciated by the attendees.

……This then led to the rock art of the evening, a concert attended by both conference attendees and the general public. The concert featured a variety of extremely talented artists including: Kimya Dawson, Anthony da Costa, Emilyn Brodsky, Griffin & the True Believers, Hop Along, Queen Ansleis, Dave End & BB Sunshine. The concert was a tremendous success, and sold out. All proceeds for the concert went to the Midnight Run.

The social action coordinators focus on the social action components of our intentional community. They often lead Social Action workshops at conferences, and work to make sure that youth in the district are aware of UU and non-UU social action events. At least one person from the district attends the Youth Social Justice Conference. The Social Action Coordinators serve as co-chairs of SICK YRUU (Socially Involved and Concerned Kids of YRUU).
