Social Justice at Our Church

The UU Church of Nashua has a long history of Social Justice activism with the involvement of many members in the various programs and issues that arise in our city, state, nation and world. We initiate projects that address key issues in our community, advocate for issues that speak passionately to our values, and align with community organizations that can help strengthen the work that we do. Our Social Justice Team, active in our congregation since 1987, helps to publicize materials, organize events, and provide opportunities for members and friends to participate.

UUA Social Justice

Our church is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and thus has a strong connection to the social justice resolutions that pass at General Assembly every June:

• Congregational Study Action Issues (CSAI)—these resolutions get started somewhere in a member congregation, go through a selection process at the UUA, and the top candidates are voted on at General Assembly. A new CSAI is selected every two years for a 4 year period of study and action. Please refer to http://www.uua.org/statements/process for more details on this process.

In 2014, ‘Escalating Inequality’ was selected as the CSAI for the next four years.

• Actions of Immediate Witness (AIW)—these resolutions also get started in a member congregation, but generally address more immediate, time-sensitive issues. A slate of six AIWs are voted on in General Assembly and the top three are selected. You can investigate, by year, all the GA resolutions that have been adopted since 1961 by going to http://www.uua.org/statements/years.
