MUUSJA, MN Unitarian Univ. Social Justice Alliance

We connect, organize and strengthen a network of 30+ Unitarian Universalist congregations in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota to build collective power and create a just and loving world.

Our small and dedicated staff (1.0 FTE) hosts statewide online forums, trains UU congregations in community organizing, and shares information & resources on issues & organizing strategies. We help plan & show up in prophetic witness in protest & in solidarity, as part of a multi-faith network. We organize issue-oriented calls/letters to voters & electeds, and consult directly with congregational groups on social justice & climate action. 

In 2023, MUUSJA's effort areas include:

• Defending Democracy - voter engagement and election protection with UU the Vote 
• Racial justice & equity - end biased surveillance & state-sanctioned violence
• Gender justice & dignity for women & LGBTQIA+ peoples - end conversion therapy, support transgender kids, support UU presence at state-wide pride events, & reproductive justice
• Climate justice - in community with Honor the Earth and MNIPL (Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light) to protect the earth and water.
