Share the Plate for August is UUJusticePA

UUJusticePA is our UU legislative advocacy organization for the State of Pennsylvania.  Our values come from our UU faith, and Politics is our Ethics made manifest in the world. UUJPA works in seven teams: 1. Good Government: open honest representative government; redistricting reform; voter rights and minimizing money in politics; 2. LGBTQIA+ rights; 3. Economic Justice: Raise the minimum wage to $15/hour, equitable school funding, access to affordable healthcare for all; 4. Environmental Justice: Educating people around the need for climate action and  demanding government adherence to PA’s Green Amendment; 5. Reproductive Justice: the right to birth control and abortion, maternal and child health care, sex education, and paid family leave; 6. Gun Violence Prevention: Background checks, Ext risk prevention orders; 7. Criminal Justice Reform: End mass incarceration, and all forms of unfair administration of justice. 

Capital Campaign Launch: Warming Our Welcome, Brightening Our Future

  In 2025 we launched an exciting campaign to make our church more welcoming, accessible, and sustainable. Planned improvements include energy-efficient heating and cooling, upgraded lighting and sound, a modern video system, outdoor enhancements, and a long-term endowment. We invite every member to get involved. Learn more.

UUJusticePA

UUJusticePA is working for real change for real people. Our members help sustain the fight for justice for all in Pennsylvania. We hope you’ll consider joining the fight for justice.
