UUSC is joining with our allies to make sure the U.S. government and the United Nations do everything in their power to protect civilian lives and bring the conflict in the Darfur region to a just and peaceful resolution. Join us for a service at the Unitarian Church of All Souls this Sunday, September 17, followed by a march to the rally. See below for more details.
