In the summer of 2019, a group from UUA staff and other UU organizations began meeting to address conflicts arising in Unitarian Universalist communities around the call to dismantle white supremacy in our faith movement. Meetings led to a framework and an invitation for Unitarian Universalist faith communities to engage in broad, shared discussion: How will we move our faith forward toward greater justice?

UUA staff, the Commission on Institutional Change, and Unitarian Universalist professional organizations and identity groups offer these additional tools for congregational conversations for liberation, all girded by three core commitments:

• First, we recommit ourselves to strive to become a fully inclusive and anti-oppressive community.

• Second, we re-center the truth-telling that comes from voices at the margins of our faith community.

• Third, we reaffirm that we must lead from the covenant of care that binds us.
