Forward Together

“Forward Together” is the Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry of North Carolina–a progressive, faith-based, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to “give life the shape of justice” by
  • coordinating and supporting the social justice work of individual UUs and UU congregations in North Carolina,
  • building relationships with other groups who are working for social justice, and
  • giving voice to our Unitarian Universalist values with respect to important social, economic, environmental, and political issues in North Carolina.
Forward Together Annual Gathering

Forward Together Annual Gathering

More than 70 UUs from 12 UU congregations gathered at the Eno River UU Fellowship in Durham on October 13 for UUJMNC's first annual Forward Together gathering, featuring music by the ERUUF Beloved Community Chorus, a keynote address by Professor Gene Nichol on poverty in North Carolina, and workshops on "Going Public with Our UU Values," "What Partnership Means," "Small Congregations Doing Justice in a Big Way," and "Putting Our Faith into Action through UUJMNC." Thanks to everyone who attended, to all of the workshop leaders, to the singers and worship leaders, and to the dozens of volunteers who made UUJMNC's first annual gathering such a great success!

The UU Justice Ministry of North Carolina has been "building a new way" over the past year as we've been working to reorganize and recreate UUJMNC as a more visible, more connected, more viable, and more effective statewide organization that will "give life the shape of justice." We hope you'll take a few minutes to read about some of UUJMNC's accomplishments and activities over the past year and that reading our first progress report will inspire you to get involved with and support UUJMNC during the coming year.

Giving Tuesday: Give for Good!

Giving Tuesday: Give for Good!

Giving Tuesday (November 27, 2018) s a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following the Thanksgiving holiday (after the post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy on “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday”), Giving Tuesday kicks off the charitable season when many people focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving to organizations that are working to make the world a better place. This year, the UU Justice Ministry of NC is participating in the 2018 Giving Tuesday campaign and will be sending friends of Forward Together a series of Giving Tuesday email during November inviting you to “give life the shape of justice” by making a financial contribution to UUJMNC. We’re hoping that UUJMNC’s Giving Tuesday campaign will raise at least $1,000 from at least 30 friends and supporters of UUJMNC and that all new or increased donations of $25 or more will be matched dollar for dollar by a generous but anonymous donor up to a total of $1,000.
