The Unitarian Universalist General Assembly (GA) was held virtually from Wednesday, June 23, to Sunday, June 27. The theme was Circle ‘Round for Justice • Healing • Courage. General Assembly is a time to circle ‘round in community. We circle ‘round in care and healing; for liberation and justice; and for love and courage.
