Our annual meeting of Unitarian Universalists, General Assembly, is only a few months away, and UUA staff are busy preparing to make it a meaningful and memorable experience. We’ll be in Providence, RI from June 24-28 with workshops, worship, and many other opportunities to connect in faith and community.

Among the many highlights in our programming lineup, I am particularly excited to announce today that Naomi Klein will give our Ware Lecture! She is the inaugural Gloria Steinem Endowed Chair in Media, Culture, and Feminist Studies at Rutgers University. Klein is also an award-winning journalist, syndicated columnist, and international and New York Times bestselling author of On Fire: The (Burning) Case for a Green New Deal. She is a regular media commentator in print, radio, and television and The New Yorker has called her “the most visible and influential figure on the American left—what Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky were thirty years ago.”

The Ware Lecture was established by a gift from Harriet E. Ware in 1920 and has been given each year at General Assembly. Past lecturers include Martin Luther King Jr. (1966), Kurt Vennegut (1986), Mary Oliver (2006), and Brittany Packnett (2018). It is an honor to have Naomi Klein join us this year.
