SUMMARY:Film: Racially Charged: America's Misdemeanor Problem
DESCRIPTION:America’s Misdemeanor Problem exposes how our country’s history of racial injustice evolved into an enormous abuse of criminal justice power.  Thirteen million people a year — most of them poor and people of color — are abused by this system. \nThrough first-person accounts of those charged under the Black Codes of the Reconstruction era paralleled with the outrageous stories of people trapped in the system today\, the film brings to light the unfolding of a powerful engine of profits and racial inequality. With the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement\, this film provides historical context and examines America’s history of racist oppression. \nPresented by the TPC Racial Justice Task Force. Join on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Racial Justice Task Force Film Series: "Birth of a Movement"
DESCRIPTION:Birth of a Movement brings to life Boston’s long history as a center of abolition and a force for racial equality. In 1915\, William Monroe Trotter\, a little remembered leader in the Black radical tradition\, led the struggle to ban D. W. Griffith’s notoriously racist film\, The Birth of a Nation. \nTrotter advocated mass action as a tool for racial justice\, and the protests in Boston set the stage for the modern civil rights movement. \nFeel free to invite friends. Zoom link here. \nThe Zoom theater opens at 5:15 and the film will begin at 5:30\, with a half hour of discussion afterwards. An RSVP to rjtf@tparkerchurch.org is appreciated but not essential. \nSee you at the movies!

SUMMARY:Annual Meeting of Theodore Parker Church
DESCRIPTION:The TPC Annual Meeting will be held on Sunday\, June 12 at 12 PM. The congregation will consider reports from the various church committees; will review and pass the annual budget for the 2022-2023 fiscal year; will elect officers to serve for the coming fiscal year; and will vote on proposed amendments to the by-laws. \nProposed changes to the by-laws are indicated below in bold. The first change provides a means for individuals to become members when signing the physical Membership Book is not possible (as has been the case at times during the pandemic). The second change acknowledges that the term “Standing Committee” is not in common use and many UU congregations instead refer to that group as the “Board.” \nSection 1Ai. Members of the Church (Members) are defined as persons at least 18 years of age who are in agreement with the purposes of the Church\, who agree to abide by these bylaws and who have signed the Church’s official Membership Book\, or who have provided an electronic signature on an online form established by the Church for circumstances where signing the physical Membership Book is not possible. \nArticle IV Section 3.  Standing Committee\, also called the Board \nThe Standing Committee (The Board) will be comprised of the Executive Committee and at least one (1) and up to five (5) additional members for up to a total of nine (9) members. Members of the Standing Committee (also may be referred to as Members of the Board) shall serve a term of three (3) years. Members of the StandingCommittee shall serve no more than two consecutive terms. Should an elected Member of the Standing Committee be unable to fulfill the entire term\, another Member of the Church may be appointed by the Standing Committee to complete that Member’s duties until the next election.
