Unitarian Universalist Church West

The Social Action Council is composed of five teams:

• Global Justice and Peace Task Force
• Split the Plate
• Habitat for Humanity
• Nicaragua Brigade
• Economic Justice team

The council meets quarterly.

Starting in 2008, Unitarian Universalist Church West embarked on a new approach to its practice of social justice: a year-long social action theme.  It is our intention that our congregational educational curriculum, movie nights, Sunday services, service projects and action projects concentrate on our theme.  Our themes so far:

• 2008: No More Turning Away which culminated in a Cardboard City wherein members and their families chose to sleep in cardboard boxes of their own makings
• 2009: Creating Peace which resulted in adoption of a Peace Pledge

This year we chose a theme entitled ‘Food & Environmental Justice.’ Learn more on the Annual Social Justice Focus page.

Social Action Endowment Fund

The Social Action Council also oversees the Social Action Endowment Fund.  The committee awards grants from the earnings of this fund, currently valued at approximately $58,000. Contact any member of the Social Action Council to propose a grant.
