About Unitarian Universalism

We are people of all ages, people of many backgrounds, and people of many beliefs. Many Unitarian Universalists feel that working for social justice and the elimination of all forms of oppression is an essential part of their spiritual journey. One of UU FaithAction NJ’s goals is to work with, and be a resource for, New Jersey’s UU congregations to strengthen their social justice programs.
