The Environmental Justice Ministry Team (EJMT) supports UUFR’s programs focused on sustainability, climate change, and eco-spirituality.
When? Starting in September 2024, the EJMT meets the third Sunday of every month 10:00 AM–11:00 AM.
How? Meetings are usually hybrid meetings. All are warmly invited to attend in person or via Zoom. There is no need to RSVP. The meeting location and Zoom link will be provided on UUFR’s upcoming-events page and through the EJMT email list.
What? A typical meeting involves reviewing progress on our initiatives (see below), planning for large events, and proposing and discussing ideas. Some sessions are “work” sessions where we get hands-on and do things like writing letters or making signs. See our meeting minutes link for detail.
Who? You! There’s always a lot going on and many ways to get involved.

As a Green Sanctuary, UUFR commits itself to educational and advocacy activities under UUFR’s GS2030 plan.
