The Action Council, UUCPA’s social justice committee, has recently updated its Charter and changed its name. Our new name is the Social Justice Action Council. This name change makes our purpose clearer. The Charter updates make its content more current and readable.
Our new email address is SJAC@uucpa.org. Note that the old address (ActionCouncil@uucpa.org) will still work, so for now don’t worry if you forget!
Changes have been made to the Justice portion of UUCPA’s website to reflect the new name, along with other updates (some of which are still to come). You will find the updated SJAC Charter on our website here.
SJAC is a bit different from other committees in that voting members of the Council must be nominated by the Parish Minister and affirmed by the Board. The Board must also approve changes to the Charter, as it did recently. If you would like to know more about the background of the Council and its responsibilities, we encourage you to read the new Charter and our Volunteer Role Description. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
In solidarity,
The Social Justice Action Council**
