Escalating Economic Inequity<\/span><\/h2>\n

Escalating Economic Inequity is one of UUSJ\u2019s chosen priority issues. \u00a0We work with organizations and faith-based groups including the\u00a0Unitarian Universalist Association<\/a>, Friends Committee on National Legislation<\/a>,\u00a0UU’s for a Just Economic Community<\/a>, and Common Cause<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tend to treat changes in the economy as if they were like the weather\u2014natural phenomena governed by forces beyond our control. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have chosen to live in a society with high unemployment and with income distribution that is becoming medieval. A tiny percentage of Americans own most of the wealth. Meanwhile millions of willing and able people are without work. This did not just happen. We created this situation.\u201d
