Curriculum for Congregations

Rooting us in our religious history and theological callings the six-week curriculum, "Reproductive Justice Curriculum for Congregations", outlines the distinctions between reproductive “health,” “rights,” and “justice”; opens awareness of reproductive oppressions; offers opportunities to learn about ourselves and each other as sexual and reproductive beings; and equips us to move forward, out into the world, with integrity and vision.

Webinar: What is Reproductive Justice?

As Unitarian Universalists, we are the inheritors of a 50-year history of reproductive rights advocacy. We also share a firm commitment to racial and social justice. At the convergence of these interests, we are called to widen the current debate from “reproductive rights” to “reproductive justice,” allowing us to fill a unique niche as both a religious group and a reproductive justice organization.
