Social Justice Committees
The First Unitarian Church sponsors several Social Justice committees that promote our Unitarian Universalist principles of working toward the goals of justice, equity and compassion in human relations; world community with peace, liberty and justice for all; and respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. There are many ways that you can feel the satisfaction of making the world a more just and humane place by joining the groups listed in the chart. The amount of your involvement can be great or small and there is a place for everyone who would like to be involved.
