The Unitarian Society in E. Brunswick, location of Plenary 2018

   

On behalf of the Board and staff of UU FaithAction NJ, thank you for your participation at our 7th annual Plenary last Saturday at The Unitarian Society in East Brunswick.

A quick recap: More than 75 attendees representing nearly all 21 member congregations together raised $5,250 to further our justice work together!

We were inspired by our keynote speaker, Sam Daley-Harris, received updates on the (mostly) progressive legislative rush of the first months of the Murphy administration, approved the new budget (and heard good financial news from our Treasurer), voted in two new Board members from Paramus and Beacon/Summit, and celebrated the 9 UU congregations who received State Sanctuary Challenge certificates acknowledging their efforts to welcome immigrants and stand up for the dignity of the undocumented.

Thank you once again for your ongoing participation in our UU witness for social justice and “active compassion” in New Jersey.

For those unable to join us on April 21 in person, below are the key materials included in the attendee packets.  We hope you find them informative and hope to welcome you in person next time at our 8th Annual Plenary in 2019.
