What would it look like to believe in our neighbors with the same kind of reverence that others reserve for a deity? As part of Good Trouble Lives On weekend, join UUCA member and Executive Director of the American Humanist Association, Fish Stark, as we celebrate the legacy of Rep. John Lewis through this love letter to democracy \u2014 weaving together history, philosophy, psychology, and theology to lay out a blueprint for how UUs, humanists, and anyone who believes in people can lean into the fight against authoritarianism, feed our fire of commitment, and defend the sacred principle that people are worth believing in.
