Social justice is a core practice for many Unitarian Universalists. Our faith is this-worldly, meaning that we live our values right here, right now. We create displays of public art to raise awareness about issues and partner with on-the-ground organizations to build relationships of solidarity.
The mission of the Social Justice Committee is to advance our UU values and principles through action-based social justice initiatives, educational programming, and compassionate outreach that encourage engagement within the First Parish congregation and the wider community.
We have a long-standing relationship with Renewal House, the UU Urban Ministry’s domestic violence shelter. Through our Renewal House events twice a year, we serve and connect with individuals and families including Renewal House “alumni,” creating generational support.
