SUMMARY:FUUSN Social Action Presentation: Leadership Development in the Wake of the Election
DESCRIPTION:(RSVP required.) Rev. Jo Murphy will speak about her work as executive director of the statewide UU Mass Action organization. She will emphasize leadership development in the wake of the recent election results. \nUU Mass Action was founded by Lynn Holbein\, former Co-Chair of the FUUSN Social Action Council before she moved to North Carolina. Their mission is to organize and mobilize UUs in Massachusetts to confront oppression. They provide pathways towards justice and identify opportunities in which we can live our shared values. They build relationships with congregational leaders and work to develop their leadership and engage them in our statewide campaigns. These are campaigns on climate and economic justice\, immigrant justice\, housing justice\, youth engagement and more. Every year in April they lead all congregational teams to lobby their state representatives and senators about pending legislation that need sponsorships and support. \nRev. Jo worked as a chaplain at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston for the past two years\, in addition to being a case manager supporting people living with brain injuries. She is a volunteer organizer with the Boston Immigration Justice Accompaniment Network and with the Boston chapter of Standing Up for Racial Justice.

SUMMARY:Understanding The Exciting New Cancer Therapies and Their Importance for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:Kevan Hartshorn\, MD\, will take us into the world of medical research and progress as the pace of discovery in cancer therapy has become exponential in resent years. A majority of cancers develop in older adults who can experience increased toxicity from chemotherapy. He will address new therapies being approved every few weeks with three new approaches that can preclude or decrease the use of chemotherapy. We are so fortunate to have him join us with medical news of less toxic and highly effective methods and his experiences in this fast moving world of medicine.
