SOCIAL JUSTICE

In the course of providing opportunities for UUSIC members and friends to engage in community service and social action, the Social Justice Coordinating Committee organizes special solicitations and other fund-raising efforts to help meet the needs of low-income families, or those with other needs, through its support of such local organizations as the Iowa City Crisis Center, Emma Goldman Clinic for Women, Elder Services, Youth Homes, Free Medical and Free Dental clinics, and several global hunger projects. SJCC members staff a bi-weekly advocacy table after the Sunday service, where UUs may write letters or postcards to their state and Congressional lawmakers on such issues as gun control, peace and homelessness.
