Our mission is to create awareness, educate and engage our All Souls community into action toward dismantling racism.
The Dismantling Racism and Social Justice Teams successfully engaged the community in a campaign to adopt the 8th principle:
“We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.”
All Souls UU is the 291st congregation in the US to adopt the 8th Principle. Congratulations, everyone!
