Justice

Peace, Justice, and Sustainability

Unitarian Universalism is a justice-centered religion. We continue our tradition of conscience and action guided by our Action Council.

UUCPA Action Council

  • The mission of the UUCPA Action Council is to empower the congregation to take action for social and environmental justice in the larger community, in accordance with our Unitarian Universalist principles and our congregational commitment to transforming ourselves, each other, and the world.
  • We have been affirmed as a Welcoming Congregation by the UUA.
  • UUCPA is accredited by the UUA as a Green Sanctuary Congregation.

Justice Partners

Each month the Church supports a Justice Partner by donating one offering per month of non-pledge offerings at the Sunday services.  Justice Partners are proposed for each year via the Action Council and approved by the Congregation at each year’s Annual Meeting in April.

The church also supports LifeMoves, an organization dedicated to finding solutions to homelessness in Silicon Valley, by donating the entire Christmas Eve service(s) collection to them.

This Month’s Justice Partner

The Justice Partner for August is Day Worker Center of Mountain View

The Day Worker Center of Mountain View connects day laborers and local employers in a safe, reliable environment. Beyond job matching, the Center provides essential support and growth opportunities, empowering workers to improve their socioeconomic condition through a variety of classes such as ESL and legal rights, as well as hands-on training in technology and job skills. Workers can also enjoy a hot, healthy breakfast and lunch six days a week. Since 1996, the Center has been committed to worker-led advocacy and community service. Our vision is a world of diverse communities where day workers live with full rights and responsibilities in an environment of mutual respect, peace and harmony.
