Side With Love is the Organizing Strategy Team of the Unitarian Universalist Association—a network of organizers, leaders, congregations, and justice partners faithfully working to transform our world.
We organize with love at the center. Not love as sentiment, but love as strategy, ethic, and spiritual practice. Love that is bold enough to confront systems of oppression, and grounded enough to sustain the long work of building something better.
Our work is rooted in the conviction that every person has inherent worth and dignity, and that all life is bound together in sacred interdependence. From that foundation, we equip individuals, congregations, and communities to live their faith in public: developing leaders, deepening political education, building collective power, and acting in deep solidarity with frontline movements.
We don’t just respond to crises. We organize toward a vision: a world where all people are free and thriving, all bodies are sacred, and communities are grounded in care, equity, and collective liberation. We root that vision in joy, spiritual nourishment, and the liberatory dreaming our faith calls us to practice.
Through campaigns, organizing programs, and movement partnerships, Side With Love accompanies communities across the country as they move from values to action, faithfully, strategically, and together.
This is not simply advocacy. It is a way of being in the world.
