We warmly invite you to participate in the work of UU FaithAction NJ. There are many opportunities to help us build a beloved community of equality, sustainability, and peace. Sign up for email and text alerts by clicking here.
From Olympia Brown, Francis Ellen Watkins Harper, Theodore Parker and Clara Barton in the 19th century, to A. Powell Davies, James Reeb, Viola Liuzzo, and John Haynes Holmes in the 20th, this is our proud legacy as Unitarian Universalists, to be a voice for the voiceless, a hope for the hopeless; to help build a beloved community of equality, sustainability, and peace. They probably didn’t feel up to the enormous tasks that faced them, either, but they knew it needed to be done.
Now it’s our turn. If you want to change the world and are feeling powerless to do so, you need to email us at execdir@uufaithaction.org right now and let us know you’re ready to add your strength to ours. You won’t regret it.
There are many opportunities for involvement. Becoming an Affiliated Congregation is the best way to participate in the work of the UU FaithAction NJ. If you are a member of an Affiliated Congregation, contact your Liaison to get involved.
