Unitarians Working for Justice

Unitarian Universalism is a living tradition and has a legacy of deeds not creeds. Our work for a better world takes us to unexpected places as we harness love’s power to stop oppression. From grassroots community organizing to interfaith state, national, and corporate advocacy; in protest marches, prayer vigils, and press conferences; in homeless shelters and in prisons, Unitarian Universalists put our faith into action.

Our ministry focuses on organizing and includes service, education, advocacy, and public witness (the spiritual practice of taking a public position in support of justice). Our work is led by our denominational staff, congregational leaders, and a wide variety of coalition partners and UU groups focused on justice and identity. Our values drive us to justice in many arenas:

• Climate and Environmental Justice
• Economic Justice
• Gender Justice
• Immigrant Justice
• LGBTQIA+ Justice
• Racial Justice
• Reproductive Justice

​
We practice Unitarian Universalism through our shared values, all centered around LOVE.  

• Interdependence: We honor the interdependent web of all existence and acknowledge our place in it.
• Pluralism: We are all sacred beings, diverse in culture, experience, and theology.
• Justice: We work to be diverse multicultural Beloved Communities where all feel welcome and can thrive.
• Transformation: We adapt to the changing world.
• Generosity: We cultivate a spirit of gratitude and hope.
• Equity: We declare that every person is inherently worthy and has the right to flourish with dignity, love, and compassion.
