We are a wide-ranging group of volunteers who have come together from different walks of life to work on an ultimate goal: remove racism from the Episcopal Church. Donations comprise 100% of our income; additionally, all of our income is used to support our programs.
To offer a better understanding, we asked some of our members to answer two questions: (1) Why did you join UBE-Arizona, and (2) why do you remain a member? Here are some answers:
Frank S. I was invited to join on the first Sunday of my new “snowbird” life in Phoenix. After becoming a teacher and especially after racism training in Chicago, I feel that I need to make sure that equal opportunity is available to all people. UBE keeps me focused and inspired toward that goal.
Helenor W. I have worked on issues of race my whole life. When I moved to Arizona, UBE was the path most promising to continue that work. UBE-Arizona is making progress toward the goal I set for myself. By working with a group, my work is amplified.
