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.
