UUSJ works to make our Government fairer and more inclusive by the following actions: 

1. Selecting issues strategically that are moving in Congress and making it easy for UUs to express their views to Congress on those issues.  

2. Arranging meetings with Congressional staff so UUs can talk to Congress. Since 2020 these meetings have expanded virtually so that everyone across the nation can meet with Congress!  

3. Publicizing Action Alerts, where individual UUs may sign a letter to their Congressional representatives advocating for a solution to a particular injustice.

4. Maintaining Issue Action Teams on the priority issues. The Immigration Action Team and the Democracy Action Team are the most active. We do, however, engage with our Environmental Action Team and Economic Justice teams regularly.  

5. Conducting workshops and webinars to educate members on emerging issues and how to advocate more effectively.

6. Organizing witnessing activities, including participating in the Women’s March and the Poor People’s Campaign. These are timely, life-changing events to join with other UUs when writing is not enough, and to let their voices be heard. Check out uusj.org to find out about any current witnessing opportunities.
