\"\"A Movement Ten Years in the Making – Let’s Celebrate Together!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For a decade, the Unitarian Universalists for Justice (UUSJ) has been guided by a steady hand, a generous spirit, and an unshakeable commitment to the beloved community. Under Pablo’s leadership, UUSJ has grown from a small faith-rooted advocacy organization into a courageous voice for justice on Capitol Hill and across the country. We join now \u2014 supporters, congregants, activists, and community leaders \u2014 to celebrate what 10 years of principled leadership has built, and to empower the next 10 years of transformative work.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been really proud of the fact that UUSJ has ventured quietly forward the past few of years and really claimed space within our UU community and put forward good and important ideas and language. And our volunteers are key to that and are leading the way.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
