The Pennsylvania Interfaith Impact Network (PIIN) is a grassroots coalition of faith congregations, organizations, and individuals committed to building power for justice in Southwestern Pennsylvania. By building potent relationships, training leaders, negotiating successfully, and publicly demonstrating its power, PIIN influences policy and practice to create the conditions for flourishing, just communities. First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh was one of the founding members of PIIN over 26 years ago and Rev. Kate Walker is PIIN’s president. PIIN is currently working on five issues: Environmental Justice, Immigration Justice, Criminal & Transformational Justice, Public Education, and “Get out the Vote” activities. Community organizing requires both people and money, and 1st UU is providing both volunteer leaders and financial support.

We invite you to learn more about PIIN’s justice work at our Pies for PIIN picnic next Sunday, October 11, after church. Also see: piinpa.org. Thank you for your support of PIIN.
