Social Justice Council

The Social Justice Council (SJC) members support the mission of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Gainesville (UUFG) by 'fostering…peace and justice' through assessment of social concerns and the promotion of effective actions to meet community needs. The purpose of the Social Justice Council is to promote peace and justice by providing information and facilitating action on political and social issues. Individually, members of the Social Justice Council have the opportunity to use their talents and skills working on social projects of their particular interest. Collectively, the members have the necessary strength to provide effective leadership for the congregation and the community.

Social Justice Council July 2011

Social Justice Council will hold its regular 4th Tuesday business meeting on July 26 at 7 PM in the Common Room, and all are invited to join us. We have an open mic time at the beginning, when you can tell us your ideas or concerns, and then we go on with our agenda. Many of the project teams have activities going on, and you are welcome to join in those at any time.

To find out more about the Project Teams, please call Alice P. (she's in the Directory)

Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

A Quarter Century of Support

by Amy Jo S.

What a surprise when I saw my name listed with other UUSC (Unitarian Universalist Service Committee) members in their Spring-Summer newsletter! I was honored for having supported UUSC for the past 25 years.

UUSC is the social justice organization for Unitarian Universalists. It helps grass root organizations around the world to advance human rights. When a disaster strikes, it knows how to help those who need the most help.

The Ericksen Lecture Series invited the UUSC president, Dr. William Schulz, to speak about human rights on September 24. It was an honor for us to have him, and I hope you heard his talk and will consider joining UUSC if you are not already a member.
