The Fellowship’s Social Justice program ties closely to the eight Unitarian Universalist Principles. Our goal is to work within our local community, state, nation and world by:
- Focusing on systemic problems that allow so many people – locally, regionally, nationally and globally – to live in poverty or at risk of harm
- Acting as a friendly resource by serving the needs of people
- Addressing collective disregard for our fragile interdependent webs – in our environment and in human relations
We have many robust Social Justice groups that address different societal needs within in our Fellowship, our community and our denomination.
The umbrella group for these programs is the Social Environmental Action Committee — SEAC.
We recognize many different styles of social action – direct service, education, witnessing, advocacy/community organizing, and legislative action. We also recognize that human need pervades our neighborhoods and our world. Fellowship members embrace our faith’s “call to action” and work to lend our hands to the tasks.
Check out the opportunities. You might find one…or more…that speaks to you.
