Justice is at the core of our faith. Our congregations are called to make a positive difference in our wider communities. We work to serve, to raise awareness, and to support and partner with people who face injustice. We advocate, organize, and act for justice to live out the values of our faith (https://www.uua.org/action).

There are many ways for us individually and collectively to join other Unitarian Universalists in taking action regarding human rights, social justice, environmental justice, and protecting and caring for our planet. Below are some ways to learn and get involved.
