About UUSC

With more than 47,000 members and supporters, the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee is a nonsectarian organization that advances human rights and social justice in the United States and around the world. Our programs are based on Unitarian Universalist principles that affirm the worth, dignity, and human rights of every person — but one need not be a Unitarian Universalist to join UUSC.

Through a potent combination of advocacy, education, and partnerships with grassroots organizations, UUSC supports programs and policies that promote workers' rights, advance the human right to water, defend civil liberties, and preserve the rights of those affected by humanitarian crises.

UUSC relies on the support of people just like you to make our programs work.

The Service Committee trains and organizes its members and supporters to advocate for legislative policies which foster social justice. We also educate them about human rights issues and rally thousands of UUSC members who have joined our Human Rights Network into action each year. Members of the network receive action alerts on key UUSC public policy issues and are encouraged to contact their legislators to advocate for just laws.

UUSC staff members work with members of Congress, the executive branch, and other U.S. government and United Nations officials to press for U.S. domestic and foreign policies that respect, promote and protect human rights.
