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,

  • giving voice to our Unitarian Universalist values with respect to important social, economic, environmental, and political issues in North Carolina.

Lots of Unitarian Universalists wear the UUA's yellow "Side with Love" T-shirts when we march, protest, and witness for social justice. And that's GREAT!!!

And, by the way, the blue is much bluer than shown in the image above!!! The BAD NEWS is that we aren't going to be able to sell the tee shirts on line right now.

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.

Call to Action: Defeat All Six Constitutional Amendments

Call to Action: Defeat All Six Constitutional Amendments

Six proposed amendments to the North Carolina Constitution will be on the ballot for voter approval this fall. If adopted by a majority of voters, these amendments would require voters to provide photo identification before voting in person; cap North Carolina’s personal income tax rate at 7%; give the state legislature a role in filling judicial vacancies; give the state legislature (rather than the Governor) authority to make appointments to state government boards and commissions; create constitutional (rather than statutory) rights for crime victims; and create a constitutional (rather than statutory) right to hunt and fish. Four of the six amendments were passed by the General Assembly’s Republican super majority along essentially party line votes over the opposition of the Democratic minority in what many people see as one more attempt by the Republican-controlled General Assembly to increase their power, limit voting rights, and increase Republican turn-out in the 2018 fall elections. It’s important to educate all North Carolina voters about what these amendments will and won’t do. So step 1 is to educate yourself. Step 2 is to educate your friends, your congregation, your neighbors, and your community. And step 3 is to get out and vote.
