Get Active for Economic Justice

UUs have long been actively organizing and advocating for economic justice.

UUSC's Economic Justice Program works to strengthen workers' rights around the world through partnership, policy work, education, and experiential learning.

Additionally, Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community (UUJEC) has been working since 1994 to engage, educate, and activate Unitarian Universalists to work for economic justice, recognizing that people of faith are supporting and renewing their spiritual lives through the struggle for justice.

One new and exciting current collaboration between UUSC and UUJEC is the April 29-May 6 JustJourneys trip to Mexico to study the effects of economic globalization.

Another great opportunity to get active for economic justice is to attend a leadership gathering sponsored by UUJEC and the People Centered Development Forum, featuring activists and writers David Korten and David Cobb. This three-day workshop, "From Empire to Earth Community-Navigating the Great Turning" will be held March 30 - April 1, 2007, at
Columbus State Community College, Columbus, Ohio.
