What kind of issue is appropriate for an Action of Immediate Witness (AIW)?

• An issue that requires immediate action for our witness to make an impact;

• An issue that is specific and that is too narrow to merit three years of study and action that define the Congregational Study/Action Issue process; 

• An issue that does not duplicate a recent AIW;

• An issue that is grounded in our Unitarian Universalist theology and practice;

• An issue that fits with our member congregations’ capacity to take meaningful action;

• An issue that presents opportunity for our member congregations to become respected participants in public dialogue; AND

• An issue that is crafted in civil language.

For additional help as you proceed, please contact the Commission on Social Witness at socialwitness [at] uua [dot] org. Through our social witness process, we work together so that the moral arc of the universe bends ever more closely toward justice.
