Social justice teams are active in research, education, and activism. Specific areas of focus include:

• Immigration justice: We partner with local immigration organizations and were instrumental in the Shut Down Berks campaign that led to the closing of the Berks Family Detention Center.
• LGBTQ justice: The Welcoming Congregation Committee focuses on meeting the goals for annual renewal of our status as a Welcoming Congregation.
• Statewide advocacy: Pennsylvania UUs work together through UU Justice PA. The mission of UU Justice PA is: Pursuing justice by voting, advocating and making just public policies.
• Anti-racism, anti-oppression: UU Berks participates in several anti-racism trainings and other anti-oppression programs throughout the year.

“I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways. And from what I see, I am sure it bends towards justice.”

~ Theodore Parker, Unitarian minister
