Environmental Justice
The Seventh Principle of Unitarian Universalism (UUism) calls us to affirm and promote "respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part." More than just a recognition of ecological interdependency, our seventh principle calls us to recognize that human beings are are part of this mutuality. Too often the "environmental movement" and the "racial/economic justice movement" have been seen as competing with each other. Environmental justice is the recognition that the same paradigm of dominion that has led to global warming also reinforces economic and racial inequities. Only by seeking solutions that address both can we solve either.
Through this lens, the issues that we highlight are:
- Global Warming/Climate Change
- Green Jobs
- Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining
- the Border Wall
- Right to Water (in partnership with the UU Service Committee)
We invite you to learn more about Unitarian Universalism and how our faith compels us to work for justice.
