Who are we?

We are a statewide network of lay members representing Massachusetts Unitarian Universalist churches and fellowships. Our mission is to mobilize our voice in support of Unitarian Universalist values to achieve a just, equitable and compassionate Commonwealth. The Network is led by a Board of Directors comprised of Ministers and Lay Leaders from the Ballou Channing, Clara Barton, and Mass Bay districts and an Executive Director.

UU Mass Action seeks to build a statewide education and advocacy network that:

• Is anchored in our UU faith
• Inspires and mobilizes coordinated social action through a network of mutual support
• Shares information and policy expertise, particularly among member UUs
• Trains new leaders, with special attention on to involving youth & young adults
• Raises the visibility of Unitarian Universalism and its values to policy makers and the larger community
• Is celebratory, sustainable, and fun!
• Global Warming
• Hunger & Poverty
• Marriage Equality
• Immigration

Current Action:

UU Mass Action is currently activily organizing around the Immigration Issue as well as mobilizing Unitarian Universalist to call our political leaders to protect the most vulnerable from budget cuts. Below is information about recent actions:

• UU Mass Action is partnering with the UUA's Clara Barton, Mass Bay and Ballou Channing Districts to host a series of workshops titled Immigrant Rights: From Massachusetts to Arizona. These will be an excellent place for congregations to learn more about how they can get involved with Immigrant rights and to see what will be happening at the upcoming Justice GA.
• Look what you can do to prevent Dream Act activists from being deported the "Protect the Dream" blog post. Also read Rev. Wendy von Zirpolo's comments at a recent press conference on why we should Say NO! to Secure Communities.

UU Mass Action has also embarked on a new project called Acts of Faith. Acts of Faith is a new blog where we tell the stories of Massachusetts Unitarian Universalist congregations living their faith in the world.
