How does working for justice bring us together? In this worship service, Rev. Ashley DeTar Birt, from New York Unitarian Universalist Justice, and friends from across the Hudson-Mohawk cluster of Unitarian Universalist congregations, explore how social justice isn’t just something one does to help others — it is communal, spiritual work that unites us across backgrounds and helps us all.
