Justice in the Denomination
Working for justice is a part of our UU faith and our UUSS mission! Here are some ways justice is approached at the denominational level:
Side with Love
“What is love calling you to do?” Side with Love is a public advocacy campaign that seeks to harness love’s power to stop oppression. It is sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Association and all are welcome to join. Subscribe to get updates.
Side with Love is focused on climate justice, decriminalization, democracy, reproductive justice, and transgender rights. They offer programs and resources, skill-up trainings, and support through the 30 Days of Love.

UU Service Committee
The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) is a non-profit, nonsectarian organization advancing human rights together with an international community of grassroots partners and advocates.
We focus our work on intersecting roots of injustice to defend rights at risk due to criminalization and systemic oppression of people based on their identity. We support self-determination and defend the rights of people displaced due to climate, conflict or economic hardships; and we respond to humanitarian crises as partners with people whose access to aid is most limited.
Learn more at uusc.org. UUSS occasionally engages in UUSC projects and efforts.
Many of our members volunteer in other non-profit organizations, enacting more compassion, justice, and joy in the wider community. Several times a year, we pool our resources to support a local non-profit that is in alignment with our values.
