Migration is a human right. At UUSC, we believe all people have the right to migrate and the right to stay where they’ve established their home, livelihood, and community. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) and their militarized terror fly in the face of these fundamental human rights.
The widespread brutality of ICE, other federal agencies, and the Trump administration is no accident. It is the product of a system designed to degrade and dehumanize our neighbors. Authoritarian forces thrive when the public feels afraid and powerless.
Each day, our collaboration with global grassroots partners and fellow Unitarian Universalist organizations demonstrates the magnitude of collective power. Even when facing horrific, systemic violence, we can make a difference when we band together.
To harness that collective power, leaders of UU and UU-affiliated organizations have created the UU Solidarity Initiative. UUSC is grateful to be a part of this coordinated effort which provides resources and opportunities to build solidarity with immigrant communities who are under attack.
Take action today to live your values, build solidarity, and make an impact. Here are four resources to get you started:
- Join the Call Blitz: Sign Up for the UU Solidarity Initiative
UUs across the country are creating an unbroken chain of phone calls to key members of congress every three minutes for 40-straight business hours. Your community or congregation can join the campaign here.

Side With Love has created a Minnesota Resource Kit to help Unitarian Universalists and allies respond with clarity, courage, and fierce love. This toolkit gathers trusted reporting, local immigrant justice organizations, organizing and spiritual resources, calls to action, trainings, and guidance for how we understand and message about this moment
