“The divine future breaks into the present with each thorny act of justice.” — Rev. Emilie Townes Like laughter at a funeral, or wildflowers pushing through cracked pavement, outbreaks of celebration and justice-making continue amidst lament.
Thanks to the ongoing participation and financial support of our 21 members congregations and individual donors, UU FaithAction provides both the advocacy and legislative leadership that both makes a real difference on issues of equality and justice, but also helps us build wider alliances between front-line communities, advocacy groups, legislators and key coalitions across the state. So that our efforts can have the greatest possible impact, UU FaithAction limits its focus to issues critical in New Jersey today. Click here to explore our current priority issues.

UU FaithAction NJ is committed to the Black Lives Matter movement and to ending the systematic oppression faced by people of color in our country and the State of New Jersey.
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.
