Social Justice

NEW: UUA Social Justice Calendar

Social justice infuses almost all of the work of the UUA in some way. UUA staff, committees, affiliate organizations and congregations all contribute to our collective efforts for justice. The UUA also has a commitment to work for justice in ways that are inclusive, anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and multicultural.

On these social justice pages you will find resources and information on:

• A wide range of issues from civil liberties and gay rights to peace and racial justice
• Effective congregational advocacy, organizing, education, service, and public witness.
• Inclusiveness and diversity, multiculturalism, anti-racism and anti-oppression.

The Social Justice Menu offers the following:
