September 20 – “Supporting Democracy: The Power of the Ballot”

September 16, 2026 by Fawn Smith

The fifth principle of Unitarian Universalism affirms “the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large.” As an expression of this faith, many Unitarian Universalists (UUs) believe strongly in expanding voting access and participation. Members of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fayetteville (UUFF) actively support these efforts in numerous ways and at all levels of government. We also engage with and lift up organizations that share our commitment to democracy. 

One such organization is the League of Women Voters. Our guest speaker this Sunday, Michelle Wolchok, President of the League of Women Voters of Washington County, will discuss the League’s history and long-standing work, its current priorities, the status of citizen-led ballot initiatives in Arkansas, and the importance of voting in the upcoming midterm elections. Additionally, the Raging Grannies NWA will provide uplifting and thought-provoking music for the service.

You can attend this service in person at the fellowship building or view it remotely online via Facebook Live Stream. To attend live via Facebook, wait until 11am Central Time (CDT) and go to: https://www.facebook.com/share/19LR1PCEtN/ and click on “Watch Live Video. A Facebook account is not required for viewing.
