Michigan UUs Unite: Fifty for Justice!
By MUUSJN on Thursday, August 15th, 2024
UUs are known to be justice-seeking people. It takes many of us working together to achieve the goal of freedom and equity for all. The Michigan UU Social Justice Network (MUUSJN) leverages expertise and resources to support this work for member congregations and fellowships across our state and gives UUs a larger voice among partners, allies, and justice-makers. Become a supporting member today and help foster this collaboration. We need 50 of you (or more!) to reach our new member goal. Go to uujustice.org; click “Become a Member” and make a donation today.
Some of MUUSJN’s most recent accomplishments:
- Organizing poll watchers, phone bankers, and postcard writers for the 2024 elections to support all eligible voters’ ability to vote without hindrance
- Signed on to a statement opposing the re-opening of a nuclear reactor site near Benton Harbor due to environmental, economic, and health risks
- Offered webinars about the particular conditions and injustices experienced by Native/Indigenous people in Michigan
- Published action alerts about legislative action on justice issues of interest to UUs
- Signed on to a statement opposing a Catholic group’s lawsuit seeking to overturn Michigan’s conversion therapy ban for minors that was signed into law in 2023
