We are excited for our new Youth Group here at the Community Center — a time and space just for teens!

Ages 13-17 are welcome - Thursdays 4:15-5:45

A special thanks to our friends at 3 Owls who will be facilitating the group, and be available to provide free, confidential support for any teens that may need it.

The SEED (Spiritual Ethical Exploration and Development) program at UUCGT will be putting together care packages for kids and caregivers in the Twin Cities area, including art supplies, games, and self care items. The increased ICE presence and escalated tensions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have disrupted life for so many people, and we have connected with a group that is providing childcare and other resources for families in need.

Please check out the Sign Up Genius link for a list of needed items and register for whatever you are able to donate. These items will be used in the childcare program and also distributed to families for use at home. Donations can be dropped off at UUCGT (6726 Center Rd.) during office hours, Mon. through Thurs. 9:30-3:30, or left in the labeled boxes in the entryway outside of those hours. You can also bring them to the Up North Pride Community Center (314 Eighth St.) on Thusday, January 29th at 6:30pm. We will be packing boxes and writing more notes to the people on the ground in the Twin Cities that evening.

Join Our Weekly Equality Phone Banks! Every week, EQMI will be hosting phone banks to connect with voters across districts all over the state, identifying and mobilizing Equality Voters who care about fairness, inclusion, and justice for all.

These phone banks are one of the most effective ways to build real momentum heading into next year’s midterm elections. By having direct conversations with voters, we’re not only helping people get engaged early, we’re also gathering critical information that will guide our strategy for the months ahead.

The data we collect now helps us understand which areas are energized, where we need to focus more outreach, and how to tailor our message to meet voters where they are. This groundwork will be essential as we ramp up organizing and voter mobilization efforts in the spring for the midterm elections.

Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or brand new to phone banking, we’ll provide all the training and tools you need. Every call makes a difference and every volunteer helps build the foundation for equality and progress in the next election. What to bring: Please bring a laptop, phone, and headphones to each phone bank.

We’ll provide all the training, scripts, and support you need to feel confident making calls. If you can’t join us in person, no problem! We can set up a one-on-one training session at a time that works best for you so you can make calls from home at your own convenience.

Just email acherry@equalitymi.org to set up one-on-one training. Every volunteer, every call, and every conversation helps strengthen our movement for equality and progress. Join us weekly and help us make a difference, one call at a time!

We are thrilled to announce our third annual collaboration between Up North Pride and TART Trails for the Rainbow Run on June 20, 2026. This fun color run will take place around the Boardman Loop and promises to be a meaningful and impactful event that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and the beautiful northern Michigan community.

This event is much more than just a run or walk. It is a celebration of love, acceptance, and belonging, and an opportunity for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their allies to come together and show their pride. It is a chance to raise awareness and support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and to promote equality and inclusion in northern Michigan.
