https://www.midmich.edu/community/community-projects-events/honoring-indigenous-peoples-day Thank you to everyone who attended the Community Justice Party on Saturday, November 2. Lots of talent was on display from members and friends, and the cake and pie walk were again a big hit! Thanks, too, for the donations which totaled $252, which was donated to Ganiard Elementary School for their sensory room for children with special needs.
The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) has proposed changes to the K-12 social studies curriculum. The new standards would eliminate any mention of LGBT rights, the NAACP, Roe v. Wade, climate change and “core democratic values.” The final draft version of the Social Studies Standards: 2007 to 2018 Side-by-Side Comparison is available for review and online public comment until September 30, 2018. Even if you are not a social studies teacher, you know what you would like your children or grandchildren to be learning, so the Social Justice Coordinating Team encourages you to take time to read the proposed standards and comment!

We are collecting pledges/donations for the CAMFED program - Campaign for Female Education. Our treasurer asks that you write your check out to UUFCM, with an indication at the bottom that it is for CAMFED, as we want to send our contributions as a congregation, rather than as individuals. The donations gathered will be sent by November 30, 2015. We hope to do this twice a year.
