The U.S. Budget as a Moral Issue - Discussion

North Shore Unitarian Church of Deerfield presents an evening program on solutions to the United States budget.


In a 35-minute power point presentation, the Rev. Jean Darling of the Peoples Church of Chicago and Karla Chew of the Third Unitarian Church present some of the sticky points about the U.S. budget and some solutions proposed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Economic Policy Institute. Participants will then be invited to join the conversation about the budget to discuss how we can impact our legislators and the process.


An open discussion after the presentation will address the following points:

A budget is a moral document. Don’t we want a budget that reflects the human concerns that we care about most?


Our speakers, Rev. Jean Darling and Karla Chew are both members of the national organization, UUs (Unitarian Universalists) for a Just Economic Community, and the Chicago UUSJ task force on Homelessness and Economic Justice.


This program is free and open to the public.
