This fall, GHIAA will be organizing a series of issue-specific house meetings. These will be opportunities for people across our network to come together and share stories of personal impact and what we are seeing in our communities right now around the issues we are working on together.
Each meeting date will focus on a specific topic: immigrant rights and protections, housing affordability, or the human impact of our state’s inequitable fiscal policies. If you would like to share a story or join the conversation on more than one issue, you are welcome to register for multiple dates.
Please register through this online form, and please invite a neighbor, friend, or fellow congregant to register and join you. Here is a one-pager you can use to spread the word in your congregations. Everyone is welcome, especially those who have personal stories about the importance of these issues.
Here is the list of sessions by topic:
- Immigrant Rights & Protections
- Sunday, October 19, 1:00-3:00 pm, UUSE, Manchester
- Monday, October 27, 7:00-8:30 pm, Church of Christ (Congregational), Newington
- Housing Affordability
- Sunday, October 26, 3:00-4:30 pm, First Church of Christ, Simsbury

These critical conversations will help to shape GHIAA’s next steps in each of these three areas. Please join us.
