Social Action in Our Denomination

Neuse CleanupThroughout its history Unitarian Universalism has been deeply committed to social justice and social action; action in support of social justice is a direct expression of our faith. Our denomination and national denominational organizations provide many opportunities for united and concerted action in furtherance of social justice.

Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC). The UUSC is a nonsectarian organization that advances human rights and social justice. Its programs are based on Unitarian Universalist principles that affirm the worth, dignity and human rights of every person, but one need not be a Unitarian Universalist to join the UUSC.

Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community. The mission of the UUJEC is to engage, educate and activate Unitarian Universalists to work for economic justice, recognizing that as people of faith in the struggle for justice, we are supporting and renewing our spiritual lives.

Unitarian Universalists for Alternatives to the Death Penalty. The UUADP is a social action group, affiliated with the UUA, seeking to give witness to UUA resolutions which call for an end to capital punishment.

The Congregational Study/Action Issue (CSAI) process of the Unitarian Universalist Association provides a way for individual UUs and UUA member congregations to work together on significant, timely issues.
