Fighting for Social Justice

As Unitarian Universalists, we believe in creating a socially just future. Every year, our congregation chooses several focus issues and joins with select Justice Partners to support and amplify their efforts.

All ages can act for justice in a community that cares! Sign up for our newsletter for information about upcoming opportunities. Reach out to our Lifespan Religious Education Coordinator to discover ways children and youth can participate.

2025 Justice Partners

Every month, we support a different local nonprofit by giving half of the month’s undesignated plate collection. Depending on their needs, we may also collect supplies, volunteer, or share information about their work.
