Action Center
Your Hub for Advocacy and Solidarity
Help us advance policy change around the world through our public advocacy initiatives.
Upholding human rights involves more than just meeting people’s immediate needs. We must work to fully transform inequitable and oppressive systems.
This is why UUSC combines our direct support to grassroots partners with meaningful advocacy (link to page) to alter structures and institutions for good. Whether you are brand new to activism or you are an avid organizer with years of experience, you can play an active role in movements for change!
