Suppressed 2020 - The Fight to Vote

Suppressed 2020 – The Fight to Vote

August 20th, 7pm. Join us via Zoom for a viewing and discussion of Suppressed: The Fight to Vote (https://zoom.us/j/97443251095) the new documentary by Robert Greenwald weaves together personal stories from voters across the state of Georgia to paint an undeniable picture of voter suppression in the 2018 midterm election where Stacey Abrams fought to become the first Black female governor in the U.S. The issues Georgians faced included polling place closures, voter purges, missing absentee ballots, extreme wait times and a host of voter ID issues – all of which disproportionately prevented many students and people of color from casting their ballots. In a race that was ultimately decided by 54,723 votes, the film exposes that the basic constitutional right to vote continues to be under siege in America.

Discussion on voter suppression will follow the film.

Fight Voter Suppression by joining a post carding session on Sunday August 23 at 10 am.

Join us for the Small Woods trail hike, followed by watermelon-in-a-baggie event! Saturday, Aug. 8, 10 a.m. Meet behind the Hildreth Elementary School in the parking lot by the dumpsters. Even though the road suggests it's closed, it is passable to the back of the school.

Come for an easy-going, close to down-town, 15-20 minute Harvard hike. Bring your family, friends, and face-mask! We will provide the watermelon-baggies. See what Mr. Small had in mind when he designed this hike through white pines, beech, and oak trees. Find the “will you marry me” tree and other delights!

See you on the trail…soon.

Who we are

We are a liberal religious community of people of all ages who hold diverse theological beliefs. We come not only from Harvard, but also from many surrounding towns. We gather together "in the spirit of love," to worship, to learn, and to care for one another. We come together both to be comforted and accepted for who we are, and to be challenged to transform and grow as moral and spiritual persons.

We believe in the value of personal experience and reason, and use both as we explore the wisdom of the world's religious traditions, seeking to find and make meaning for ourselves. We celebrate and honor the prophetic words and deeds of many of those who've come before us, which call us to serve not only one another, but also those outside of our community. We long for a world that is fair and just and filled with compassion, and we work to make it so.

We welcome you! We'd love to have you join us on our journey!
