Sunday, April 12, 10 a.m., “Called to Welcome, A Journey into the Immigration Space,” Joanne McAfee, local organizer and activist: How can our proximity to each other lead to better understanding and advocacy?

Joanne McAfee is a Delaware native who believes deeply in the dignity of all people. She is a two-time border witness, a dedicated advocate for human rights and immigration reform, and a grateful wife and mother of two grown sons.

She has worked in the immigration law field for the past four years, but her advocacy began in 2018 during the height of family separation at the U.S./Mexico border. Since then, she has committed herself to building bridges across cultural, linguistic, and ideological divides, while helping others better understand the complexities and human realities of the U.S. immigration system.

Held at UUSD on March 31, 2026

The Trans Day of Visibility celebration, co-hosted by Sussex Pride and UUSD’s Social and Environmental Justice Committee, brought the community together for an evening of connection, learning, and support. The program featured keynote speaker Commissioner Cora Castle, Chair of Delaware’s LGBTQ+ Commission along with conversations in breakout groups for Trans participants and allies. Resource tables were hosted by local organizations—Camp Rehoboth, Free Mom Hugs – DE, PFLAG Rehoboth Beach, Sussex Pride, and UUSD Welcoming Congregation Team.

Thanks to Vienna, Cynthia, and Graem for their dedication and hard work in creating such a meaningful and welcoming event.

Sharing Our Stories

Each of us at UUSD has a different story to tell about how we found a spiritual home here. A few of us are life-long UUs but most are not, having come from a variety of other religious backgrounds or from no particular place of faith. Whatever our journey, sharing the stories of the paths we took helps connect us to each other and to the shared journey we are now making.
