UUSC Human Rights Forum

The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee is supporting many electoral activities taking place across the country to educate and mobilize Unitarian Universalists and others to encourage maximum voter participation and defend the democratic processes in the upcoming presidential election. At the Unitarian Universalist Association's annual General Assembly this past June in Long Beach, Calif., UUSC sponsored a Human Rights Forum to show what social justice advocates are doing and can do to mobilize activists during the election season. Speakers at the forum were Kate Lore of the First Unitarian Church of Portland, Ore.; Betsy Allis, of the Metro UU Social Justice Alliance in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.; Bill Docker, of the Universalist Meeting House of Provincetown, Mass.; and Rev. Lindi Ramsden of the UU Legislative Ministry based in San Jose, Calif.
