UUs for a Just Economic Community


Riches that leave another poor I do not want. -André Gide

Our Mission . . .

. . . of economic justice is to engage, educate, and activate Unitarian Universalist individuals and congregations, social-justice groups, and their community partners to fulfill our vision of positive systemic change. Using a process of study, reflection, strategy, and direct action, we work collaboratively “to change the economic story from Empire to Earth Community”.

Our Vision

UUJEC envisions a world that nourishes and sustains all living beings, where all people share the riches of the planet, where all voices are heard, where democratic process is practiced, where the inherent worth and dignity of every person is recognized and affirmed as set forth in our Unitarian Universalist principles.

#NoKings Day, June 14th

On Flag Day, the 250th birthday of the U.S. Army, be anywhere but in Washington, D.C.—what if they gave a party and nobody came? Our military has more important things to do than a dictator-style military parade. Check out the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Act (H.R. 2761, “Halting All Parades for Presidents’ Yearly Birthdays, It Risks Taxpayer Harm, Damages, And Your Budget Act”), and join one of the many actions across the country on June 14th.
