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.

What’s Happening at the NC General Assembly?

North Carolina's General Assembly is back in session.

UU Forward Together has several new resources that can help you keep up with (and take action on) important legislation that is being considered by our state lawmakers.

UU Forward Together is developing a federal and state Legislative Agenda for 2019 (coming soon).

Starting February 15, 2019, we'll be sending out a bi-monthly NC Legislative Update email to keep North Carolina UUs informed about what's going on at the NC General Assembly.

And you can click below for a listing of the current status of bills related to voting rights, democracy, racial justice, women's rights, LGBTQ rights, health care, poverty, education, gun violence, and other issues (updated weekly).
