Building Unity – Summer of 2025
During the summer of 2025, the Building Unity project will continue to partner with various members of Wisconsin’s Peace and Justice movement as well as with the members of the Fighting Oligarchy Coalition (https://www.fightingoligarchycoalition.org). We will be promoting various events and actions hosted by our partners and we will be encouraging partners all across the state help create Building Unity Gatherings (BUG’s). In most cases these will be potlucks designed to give local groups great regular opportunities to find each other, get know each other better, share information, and explore the possibilities of collaborative action.
We will also continue to be a part of periodic Unity Gatherings where leaders from a variety of groups can continue to explore the possibilities of our creating and guiding a vibrant united front. Our next meeting will be led by the Fighting Oligarchy Coalition at noon on June 29th. To learn more details about this meeting, please call Building Unity at 608-630-3633.
What is Building Unity?
Building Unity is not a group. We are a project that has worked with dozens of groups over the past seven years in an effort to promote united action for peace, justice, sustainability, and democracy.
Our goal is to coordinate and facilitate collaborative action amongst many individuals and groups who share the goals for comprehensive justice and an end to war and ecocide. What we are for has been summarized in the Building Unity Solidarity Statement. You can sign on to endorse this statement here.
How do we do this?
We invite (or respond to requests from) our partners to join us in creating public awareness raising events that support policy changes that are in support of world peace, all forms of justice, sustainability, and democracy.
In short, we will do whatever we can to make sure that we are lifting up the voices of those who are oppressed, marginalized and historically excluded. We seek to find creative to bring people together for action.
There is so much that we can do, if we take the time to share our ideas and strengths, make plans and follow through in collaboration.
We all can do something and our chances of getting more people doing the things that need to be done will be increased if we work together with others in our community who share our passion for setting things right.
Please, reach out if you’d like some help thinking about your next steps towards building unity in your community. It is time to find each other, align our gifts, and find the synergistic power of unity.
