Choose Compassionate Consumption
Plan worship and reflection using the Justice Sunday congregational program
Justice Is Choosing Compassionate Consumption provides materials to raise awareness, reflection and engagement within your congregation.
Today's global supply chain of goods and services is complex and far from transparent. Yet as consumers, we each have the power to educate ourselves and decide which businesses to support, which goods to buy. Each time you purchase a good or patronize a service, you have a choice — and that choice makes a statement.
Together with UUSC, you can act on a deep commitment to workers' rights, ethical eating, and building a just economy by choosing to spend wisely, in alignment with your values. Together we can choose compassionate consumption.
There are many ways to choose compassionate consumption:
Pledge to choose compassionate consumption
Take our pledge to spend wisely in alignment with your values.
Shop conscientiously
Learn how to shop with your values in mind, and find fair-trade and ethically sourced goods.
Stand in solidarity with restaurant workers
Support restaurant workers who are calling for basic improvements like paid sick days and a fair minimum wage for tipped workers.
Speak out for small farmers and food-chain workers
Help small farmers and food-chain workers struggling for fair compensation and safer working conditions.
