Sunday Outreach Collections
The Outreach Offering Recipient for September 2026 is Daring Democracy NH.
DaringDemocracyNH was born out of a book group led by Kevin Ross Emery called Daring Democracy. Since its inception the group has held multiple educational events to Dare the Democracy of NH to be better. They have also made connections throughout the state with other UU’s, as well as like-minded nonprofit groups and religious organizations, to work towards fundamental change in how NH functions as a democracy.
They have helped UU Nashua be recognized as a hub for social change in the greater Nashua area, and are now focused on getting the 25% of Nashua residents who are not registered to vote registered, and then to the polls to vote. On Sept 26 there will be a voter registration event alongside the community dinner (and there may be another in mid-October contingent on the success of the first one).
Over 12,000 postcards will be sent to unregistered households, and a social media outreach marketing campaign will reach 500,000 impressions in the Nashua area. The September Outreach collection is to enable continued outreach, food and transportation to help empower these often disenfranchised Nashua residents. Thank- you for your support.
The UU Church of Nashua has community outreach at the center of our core values. We strive to have an active presence in the community and look for areas where we can lend a hand and make a difference. Our goal is not just to provide financial assistance, but also to encourage congregational participation and to raise awareness among members of the associate social and economic issues.
