A Citizen of the World | Justice-Making is What We Do
Purpose-filled people create mission-driven communities. We are called to put our Unitarian Universalist values and faith into action to fashion a world that is peaceful, compassionate, just and sustainable. Our Seven Principles are more than something we are committed to, more than shared values―they are a call to action. Come, engage the world―join us in this great calling.​​

What We do Matters

Engaging | Guiding Questions

• What makes me come alive?
• What gifts do I have to bless the world with?

UU Santa Fe Justice Teams
What we do matters. Ours is a theology of engagement. We draw inspiration and truth from experiencing each other and the world around us. In doing so, we necessarily witness both the beauty and brokenness of our larger community and environment. Not everyone is suited for rolling paint or standing in a protest line, but there are many ways of engaging in this vital work: service, education, organizing, advocacy, lobbying and witness. UU Santa Fe members engage in all of these.

Our justice initiatives are led by our Justice Issue Teams, supported by our Justice Council, which is comprised of Justice Issue Team leaders below as well as a few members-at-large.​ Join any team at any time or put your passion to work by forming a new team! Our current issue teams are:

• Immigrant & Refugee Justice Team led by Gale Wasserman
• Environmental Justice Team led by Jean Darling
• Domestic Violence Awareness Team led by Leona Stucky-Abbott and Cheryl Ancell
• UUs United Against Gun Violence Task Force led by Carrie Morgan Cannella & Kathryn Holladay​
• Every Sunday Giving Task Force led by Susan Worley
• RESULTS Hunger & Poverty led by Kitty Sherlock

Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, he cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” God said, “I did do something. I made you.―Sufi saying
