SOCIAL JUSTICE
Live your values aloud, not alone
Unitarian Universalists are known for their inclusivity, and in February 2012,
our congregation became a certified UU “Welcoming Congregation,” for LGBTQ+ identifying individuals.
Our shared values of justice, pluralism, interdependence, transformation, generosity, equity, and love, compel us into service as a major focus in our congregation. UUCG members are involved with issues in our local community, as well as those at the state, national and international levels.
Our members may be found campaigning, supporting justice overseas, sharing at pride festivals, or standing at vigils with the oppressed. As a small UU congregation, our goal is to share information with our members about opportunities to contribute time and resources for the benefit of our local community or other organizations. We do this through the monthly UUCG email newsletter and weekly email updates. The paragraphs below describe organizations with whom we partner to enact social justice.

NATIONAL FOCUS
Programs initiated by our national association, the UUA, in which our members may take part.
Welcoming Congregation
UUCG became an official Welcoming Congregation for LGBTQ individuals in February 2012 by meeting the criteria of UUA, our national association. While we no longer are certified yearly, our congregation still maintains the welcoming congregation values.
Unitarian Universalists Service Committee
The UUSC is our national associations’ social justice group. Each fall, our social justice team presents an annual “Guest at Your Table” service on the second Sunday of December to support the international grassroots relief work of UUSC.
Side With Love
Unitarian Universalists affirm unconditional, universal love as a foundation and grounding for our actions in the world. We strive to be of service to our communities and advocate for change on local, state, national, and international levels. As an expression of our faith and values, the UUA takes positions on relevant issues of social justice.
UU The Vote
One of the fundamental principles of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) is the use of the democratic process. As an expression of our faith, many Unitarian Universalist congregations engage in voter registration, election reform, protecting voting rights and democracy, and Get-Out-the-Vote drives.
