The First Unitarian Social Justice Committee holds monthly meetings to discuss a range of social justice, outreach, and environmental subjects. We meet in the Hiett Library an the third Tuesday evening of each month from 7 to 9 pm throughout the church year (September through May). The first hour of each meeting is devoted to a predetermined subject. Meetings last year (2007-2008) examined the Crisis in Darfur, Florida's death penalty, Family Equality and the proposed Anti-marriage Amendment, civil disobedience, and the work of ACORN. In the second hour members are invited to bring their own Social Justice interests and concerns and to make short presentations to the group. All church members are invited to attend and participate in this ongoing program.
2008-2009 Social-Justice/Issues:
• Congregational Study / Action Issues for 2006-2010: "Peacemaking"
• Fall Term: Vote No on 2! (Important Info )
• Spring Term: Healthcare for the Homeless For more information about Social Justice activities or how to help, please email Joe DuRocher (Chair) or Jean Cawelti (Co-Chair) at SocialJustice@OrlandoUU.org
