Social Justice Committee

Join Now!

Mission Statement:  The Social Justice Committee will provide social justice education and implement action focused on a specific issue identified by the congregation for a period of 1-3 years. Additional social justice topics may be identified and addressed at the committee's discretion.

The committee discusses current social justice topics and determines which topic they will focus on during the year. They determine what types of events they will promote and participate in. They also inform and encourage all LCUUC members to participate in those events by organizing one Sunday service at LCUUC each year and by keeping them aware of activities to participate in. The committee connects to and works on issues within the context of the larger UUA, the MidAmerica Region, and with allies in the community including other local Unitarian Universalist churches and social justice organizations to promote peace, justice, and sustainability. To find out more details on what the Social Justice group does, go to Social Justice at LCUUC.

The committee meets monthly, and sends monthly updates and an annual report to the appropriate Board liaison.

The committee also submits a budget request to the Finance Committee in April of each year.
