Join us as we have a discussion with Andrew Millard, Minister at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Peninsula in Newport News, Virginia as we address issues surrounding Social Justice.

Racial Justice - Every person has value as a member of the human family. The suffering caused by racism must be ended if we want to create fair and loving communities. We work to end racial discrimination and injustice, starting within ourselves and moving out into the world around us. We support multiracial, multiethnic congregations and advocate for stopping racist policies like mass imprisonment and attacks on voting rights. Our multicultural ministries will continue until there is peace, liberty, and justice for all.

Immigrant Justice - Just as love knows no borders, our dedication to justice reaches across boundaries and walls. We stand on the side of love with all families, regardless of citizenship status, and strive to create welcoming communities and congregations. We organize and advocate for immigration reform, for an end to detentions and deportations, and for a world where hands are extended in peace and care across borders and no one feels forced to leave home or risk death in pursuit of a decent life for their family.

Economic Justice - We see a thousand injustices, from climate change to homelessness, from mass incarceration to low-income as such we know that the escalation of economic inequality undergirds wage worker exploitation. Economic inequality also disproportionately impacts people of color. A better world is possible, and we strive to be part of the solution We work for justice, equity, and compassion in our relationships and systemic change in our society.
