This week, call on your state legislators and tell them to Vote NO on the Anti-Trans Bill SB 514. This bill is a cruel attack on transgender youth that would prevent them from taking steps to affirm their gender identity. Learn more and take action here.

The Institute for Preventive Healthcare and Advocacy’s (IFPHA) mission is to promote optimum health by addressing the social determinants of health (SDOH) and the inequities in access to affordable healthcare.
IPHA is committed to creating inclusive environments, be continuous learners, and work alongside others to cultivate equity, diversity, inclusion, and unlearn destructive patterns from our historical past.
IFPHA brings health education, addresses preventable diseases, and manages chronic illnesses. Our community nurses’ impact has been addressing the SDOH. Your donation will support and expand:
- Providing transportation to doctor’s appointments and the grocery store.
- Partnering with MAHEC to provide psychiatric residents for “door to door” visits.
- Providing healthy fresh fruit and vegetables and health education.
- Providing cleaning services to prevent evictions.
- Addressing clients’ needs and if there is no referral available, IFPHA will find funding to address the issue in “real time,” while we are looking for a long-term solution.
To learn more about how IFPHA is “addressing the incredible issue of inequities and access to healthcare and vital resources, which have been exacerbated by the pandemic,” as shared by Kathey Avery, Founder & Co-Chair of IFPHA, go to:https://www.averyhec.com/ifpha.

Thanks to Chief Organizer Marta Reese and her planning team of Margaret McAlister and Connie Silver, upwards of 100 UUCAers gathered in person to join in on a Flower Communion and generally just enjoy the whole in-person thing. Beautiful weather, Maria’s food truck, HOP ice cream, many flower-arrangers and slime-makers–it could not have been better!
