"Facilitating and coordinating congregational efforts to promote social justice locally and around the world"

Social Justice is an essential element of the journey to personal spiritual growth and transformation.

First Unitarian Society is implementing a governance change, with that shift in thinking, the Social Justice Program has reflected on its past and envisioned a new future. The way that we organize ourselves around the various social justice initiatives has changed.

The mission of the Social Justice Program is to engage in proactive, progressive social action and community outreach that integrates social justice work into the overall life of the congregation and produces a significant impact on targeted social justice issues at local, national, and international levels.

We will…

• foster Unitarian Universalist values,
• collaborate with the Unitarian Universalist Association and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee,
• and collaborate with interfaith and community partners.

The Social Justice Program is active with the following initiatives:

• Economic Justice
• Environmental Action 
• Human Rights 
• Defending and Expanding Democracy
• Peace and Justice

The newly formed Social Justice Advisory Group works to develop and support opportunities for the First Unitarian Society to have an impact on our broader community, both locally and abroad. The Social Justice Advisory Group is responsible for the following tasks: developing a strong strategic plan, providing funding for new initiatives, and serving as the overall coordinating body of the social justice program. 

Contribute your expertise, your energy, or your passion to help make this a better community and world. There are opportunities for both short and long term commitments. We especially welcome your insights and thoughts about the future of social justice here at FUS.
