UU FaithAction issues are managed by our volunteer task forces aligned with each issue. Each task force is populated by volunteers from New Jersey congregations and plans and executes the central work around each issue. The task force forms the policy and writes opinion pieces, plans educational efforts and actions. Task Forces connect with individual members via e-mail alerts and monthly zoom meetings. They are charged with educating and mobilizing UUs and our allies on specific, practical action we can take to real and substantive change real.
