Intro to Security for Protestors and Everyone - 50501 Training Series
2025-07-24 18:00 - 20:00
Intro to Security for Protestors and Everyone – 50501 Training Series
This hour and a half class will cover basic safety knowledge that people who may be attending or considering attending protests may find particularly useful, although these security skills are generally useful to anyone. We will provide an overview comprising digital and device security, physical safety, and legal considerations. There will be a follow-up class later for more advanced topics aimed at organizers, influencers, and anyone interested.
No registration. Will not be recorded or streamed.
If you can’t make it, or even if you can, we also have digital materials that more extensively cover these concepts that we strongly urge you to peruse.

Drop In Covenant Group
Tuesday, October 1, 6:00-7:30, Irvin Room and Online

Our new Covenant Group is perfect for anyone who wants to work on their spiritual development but can’t commit to regularly attending monthly meetings. Using a monthly packet, participants will engage with one spiritual exercise and one reflective question each month. Come to the group prepared to share what you learned and to listen deeply to others.
This group will be facilitated by Rev. Rebecca. Gatherings are scheduled for the first Tuesday of each month. You’ll discuss the materials from the previous month (ie. on October 1, you’ll share your experiences with the September packet).
Email Terina (LRE@uubn.org) to be added to the email list for the materials and reminders.
