Who might collaborate?
Other progressive organizations (Feminists, LGBTQ, ethical eating)
Academic organizations Unitarian Universalists and other liberal religious
organizations Groups with whom you respectfully disagree
Progressive Organizations
Jointly attend a rally, a fundraiser, or a church service; i.e.,
Pride Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Blood drives Create a formal alliance (i.e., Forward Progressive
Alliance)
Academic clubs
Focus on a topic from art or social studies; i.e., History of Secularism Atheism in Literature Ancient Religion Movie Night! I.e., Life of Brian, Agora, Noah
Liberal religions are our friends!
Secularism ≠ Atheism United Church of Christ (not to be confused with
Church of God!) Unitarian Universalism
Unitarian Universalism
Diverse and inclusive Supports marriage equality, social justice,
separation of church and state Seven principles support “the free and responsible
search for truth and meaning.” Basically, don’t be an @$$hole
Find people you disagree with!
Hold joint meetings and swap speakers Encourage engaging, polite argument You probably shouldn’t co-sponsor public events
Organizing a collaboration
Contact members you personally know Attend the other group’s meeting (and be early!!) Form a committee Brag about your collaboration on promotional
material
Benefits of collaborating
More leaders = better leadership More hands = less work for everyone A broader audience will be reached More MONEY! Insights from other leaders
