The Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry of North Carolina

We are a progressive, faith-based, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization working to “give life the shape of justice” by
  • Supporting the social justice work of individual UUs and UU congregations in North Carolina,
  • Building relationships with others in our community who are working for justice,
  • Living into our Unitarian Universalist values with respect to important racial, economic, environmental, and political issues in North Carolina.

"People of faith, particularly those of us who are white progressives, need to combat the systems of criminalization in our country. Systems of policing and criminalization in this country are inherently violent, steeped in and created to reinforce white supremacy, anti-blackness, and racialized control."
- UUA President Rev. Dr. Susan Frederick-Gray

Forward Together joins the UUA in supporting the Movement for Black Lives. To get involved today, join the M4BL's Week of Action in Defense of Black Life.

Join us for Friday Action Hour

Join us for Friday Action Hour

Forward Together invites UU social justice activists from all across NC to gather together every Friday @ 11:00 am via Zoom for Forward Together's Friday Action Hour.

All you have to do is show up. We'll have a list of actions (petitions, phone calls, etc.) that our national, state, and local justice partners have called on us to do. We'll begin with a brief check-in, introduce that week's actions and then get to work for an hour. Along the way, you'll be accompanied by good justice music, fellowship, and support if you need it.

Click below for this week's list of the justice actions and the link to join us via Zoom.

Join Us This Friday!

It's a collaborative effort by the UUA, UU state justice ministry networks, congregations, and partner organizations focused on:

- Voter registration and mobilization
- Combating voter suppression,
- Voter education and values-based conversations about issues - NOT candidates, and
- Spiritual nourishment to sustain us and ground our work in our UU faith.
