Proposed Slate of Justice Partners for 2023-24

Each month the Church supports a social justice organization by donating one Sunday’s plate
collection to the organization. The UUCPA Action Council reviewed the current program,
considered current and proposed causes nominated by congregants, and decided on the below
slate of organizations to present to the congregation for approval at the Annual Meeting on April
23.

This year the Action Council is proposing the addition of a new partner, Onyxx Village
Connection (OVC), to replace AbiityPath who is no longer supplying volunteers to the church.
OVC is a black-led organization that restores the dignity of underserved individuals and families
by feeding the hungry, eliminating food waste, and connecting the community to resources that
could improve the quality of their lives.

Slate of 2023-2024 Justice Partners:

• Outlet – May
• Ada’s Café – June
• American Muslim Voice (AMV) – July
• California Interfaith Power and Light (CIPL) – August
• Hotel de Zink – September
