Community Learning
Turning the Tides: JUUstice Summit
We will be gathering online for a weekend of workshops, actions, and gatherings to connect, collaborate, and create collective liberation!
Justice-seeking UUs of all ages are invited to attend this weekend of webinars, workshops, worships, and justice collectives.
We will:

- Nourish our spirits with spiritual practices for resilience & hope;
- Develop communities of support for city, county, and statewide mobilization and action;
- Connect and share strategies to engage climate, immigrant, healthcare, economic justice, and more; and
- Learn and practice creating spaces that honor youth and young adult leadership in the work of collective liberation.
Discernment & Engagement Process
With the new COVID-19 world that we live in we have realized that justice ministry is more difficult to engage. We recognize that justice ministries have changed in many of our congregations. Some have just completely stopped.
We are here to help!
We are here to assist you with a multi session process in transitioning your justice ministry to meet the needs of your community in 2022 and beyond.
Together we can:
- Reset our justice activities in our UU values;
- Identify goals, strategies, and processes;
- Assess community (local) needs
- Assess congregational resources, strengths and growing edges;
- Modernize engagement that provides more opportunities in a COVID-19 world;
- Engage with community local partner; and
- Develop best practices for increased participation and justice services growth
JUUstice Workshops
We offer our JUUstice Workshops in statewide, area, cluster gatherings, and individual communities / congregations on a variety of topics. We aim to assist you in developing, growing and transforming your justice ministries.
Some of the topics we cover are:
- Deepening our faith-rooted work for justice;
- Community organizing strategies;
- Developing local partnerships;
- Education on specific UUJMCA justice initiatives;
- Understanding Intersectionality; and
- How to develop a justice campaign.
Presenters & Speakers
Do you have a need for a presenter for a justice meeting at your congregation or for a Sunday speaker on a particular justice topic, initiative, or issue.
We are here to help!
We have a diverse variety of speakers, presenters, and panelists for Sunday Services, 1 -2 hour meetings, and other presentations.
Each presentation will be tailored to your community / congregational goals and strategies.
