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.

invisible or dismissed in society. UUC was “ahead of the curve” in
addressing the AIDS epidemic; we’ve offered witness and aid to refugees
and immigrants; we house the chronically mentally ill. The Seeds of Justice Grant Program is our first grantmaking endeavor, and the
goals of the program are:
