Forward Together: The Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry of North Carolina

Join UU Forward Together’s Democracy & Voting Rights Action Team

The 2020 election is just over one year away and what we do between now and then will determine our political future here in North Carolina and in the US for years to come.

The stakes are as high as they’ve ever been. Our democracy, voting rights, health care, the reproductive rights of women, and state and federal policies regarding gun safety, immigration, the environment, and more all hang in the balance.

That’s why launching a new Democracy Action Team is one of UU Forward Together’s major goals–and we need to get started on it right away.

Please join other North Carolina UU social justice leaders and activists for a video call at 7:30 pm on October 20, 2019 to learn more about UU Forward Together’s new Democracy & Voting Rights Action Team and what UUs in North Carolina can do during the coming year to protect and expand voting rights, end gerrymandering, and get out the vote in 2020.

“Justice on Earth” OnLine Book Discussion Group

Justice on Earth: People of Faith Working at the Intersection of Race, Class, and the Environment was the UUA's "Common Read" Book for 2018 -19.

At a time when racial justice, environmental justice, and economic justice are seen as issues competing for time, attention, and resources, Justice on Earth explores the ways in which the three are intertwined and how those on the margins are invariably those most affected by climate disaster and environmental toxins.

UU Forward Together will be offering an on-line three-session discussion of Justice on Earth this fall on Sunday evenings, 7:00 - 8:30 pm, October 13, October 27, and November 10 using a discussion guide developed by the UUA.

Please register as soon as possible if you're interested in participating, buy (or borrow) the book if you don't already have it, and read it (or as much of it as you can, before our first meeting. 

Justice on Earth is available at inSpirit: UU Book and Gift Shop.
