Peanut butter
Jelly
Fruit juice

General Assembly: The Unitarian Universalist Association's Annual Meeting

General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), where participants gather to worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy decisions for the Association through a democratic process.
General Assembly 2026 will be a virtual experience and take place from Sunday, June 14, through Sunday, June 21. The structure of this year’s GA will look a little different.
Sunday through Tuesday (June 14–16): All-virtual General Sessions focused on the business of the Association.
Wednesday and Thursday (June 17–18): A flexible midweek break for rest, travel, professional organization meetings, and affinity groups gatherings.
Friday through Sunday (June 19–21): Whether participating at an optional in-person site or fully online, registrants will share in the same livestreamed worship, featured speakers, and “Meet the Moment” programming that will unite us across every location.
GA is designed to be flexible, accessible, and meaningful for all participants.
