Social Justice

University Unitarian Church has a long history and proud tradition of working for social justice and fighting against oppression. Our congregation has been working for nearly a century to make our community more just and compassionate through direct service, public witness, and activism.

We welcome everyone to be a part of the social justice ministry of UUC. That ministry is growing, and there are many ways to get involved in a group or event, or to start something new around an issue that you're passionate about.

Update from Sound Alliance Health Care Team

Prior to the national conversation and legislative action on overhauling health care, Sound Alliance was focused on a Washington state study presenting options for "universal" health care.  The Obama administration's push for health care reform took that off the table. But the Health Care Research Action Team soon discovered that no matter what legislation was passed on a national level, both documented and undocumted immigrants would be excluded from coverage for at least five years after the bill was passed.

Take Action

What's Hot?
