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.

Who We Are

Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community (UUJEC) is a vibrant progressive organization committed to economic justice for all. Our philosophy is rooted in the UU liberal religious tradition—to create a world of justice, equity, and compassion. Our work contributes to a broader movement for social change, in collaboration with the UUA, UU Service Committee and grassroots organizations. We seek to inspire and help UUs to study our society’s economic and social systems and advocate for justice issues such as The Green New Deal and Single Payer healthcare.


No Kings: Vote Early

October 17, 2026

On October 17, 2026, another day of No Kings action is planned, to encourage people to vote early and remind us all that, as of September 20, the federal government has lost all 23 of the 30 attempts to grab voter data from the states. Both early voting and vote-by-mail are important to many and must be protected—although for those who are able, voting on Election Day means that you will have the most complete, up-to-date information.

Find more details about planned events at this link or on this map.
