UU Justice NC Annual Gathering! – Sunday October 24th on Zoom

Mark your calendars for UU Justice NC's Annual Gathering on Sunday, October 24th from 4:00 - 6:00pm on Zoom.

This year's theme is "The Power of Story." In addition to celebrating our work in 2021, we'll also reflect on the history of our young organization and the part we each play in the unfolding story of UU Justice NC.

We are thrilled that this year's keynote speaker will be Susan Leslie, Coalitions & Partnerships Organizer with the UUA's Side with Love Organizing and Strategy Team! Susan will be reflecting on her 30-year career working for justice at the UUA and the evolution of our denomination's justice work since the early 90s.

Join the Action Hour Community!

Every Friday at 11:00am UUs from across the state gather together on Zoom to live into our UU faith.

We recap the past week and then take action - making phone calls to elected officials, writing letters, amplifying justice issues, etc. Along the way we build community and nourish our spirits with great justice music.

All are welcome to be a part of our Friday Action Hour community!

Join Us This Friday!

October Newsletter Joy is an Act of Resistance.

The arrival of fall is also an invitation to reflect on all that we've done this year to give life the shape of justice - fighting for Voting Rights legislation, a moral State Budget, Medicaid Expansion, a brighter energy future, demanding justice for Andrew Brown Jr., promoting rental assistance, participating in the redistricting process and so much more.

This year, we have come together to realize the power of our UU NC network as a part of the larger movement for justice in our state. And now it's time to celebrate!

Rev. Sally White New Board President of UUJMNC!

We are excited to announce that Rev. Sally White will succeed Rev. John Saxon as the next board president of the UU Justice Ministry of NC.

We want a Budget that is For the People!

The NC Senate recently passed their budget plan without any input from the public. Despite having 7.3 billion dollars in unallocated funds available, this budget fails to address dire needs in our state including healthcare, housing, workers rights, education, voting and so much more.

The NC House is currently working on their budget, so now is the time to make our voices heard! UUJMNC is proud to be a part of the state-wide People's Budget Coalition. This summer, let's continue to put pressure on our elected officials to pass a budget that meets the needs of North Carolinians.
