RRUUC is an easy-access facility.

Resolution on Racial Justice
As individuals, we commit to a new level of engagement, to continually seek ways to use our voices, our privilege, our standing in the community to effect change.
As a congregation, we commit to turning a new page. We declare the obvious—that Black lives matter to our beloved community. We affirm the need for powerful words and collective action, both to call out injustice and to call in love.

RRUUC Land and Labor Acknowledgment
We acknowledge that the land on which we worship is the traditional land of the Nacotchtank and Piscataway people and the land through which other Indigenous Peoples traveled. We acknowledge that enslaved African people and their descendants likely labored and lived on this land. We recognize these and other people displaced, enslaved, or harmed by past injustices.

We pledge that we will follow our faith in love and work to make our congregation and our larger community more accessible, inclusive, and equitable. We pledge that we will be good stewards of the land by encouraging healthy ecosystems. We pledge to remember the past while building a more just and welcoming future for all.

Jessie Delaplaine (any pronouns) started working at River Road in 2016 serving as an administrative assistant, coordinating congregational events, rentals, and scheduling the congregational calendar.

When not at work Jessie is an artist, aerialist, contortionist, puppeteer, and event planner (still!) in Baltimore. They earned a B.A. in General Fine Arts from MICA in 2012, and Jessie was a founding member of Tryfuss Puppet Collective and has worked extensively with Submersive Productions, Black Cherry Puppet Theater, the Baltimore Rock Opera Society, and DNA Theatre. In their free time they like to cook and stare at plants.

Jessie grew up around the corner in Bannockburn attending Cedar Lane UU Church and is excited to support RRUUC’s warm, welcoming, and socially conscious congregation in any way they can! Feel free to email if you need anything please.
