Upcoming Plate Share Sunday, March 16: UU Women’s Federation – Mission: It has always been the UUWF’s wish to join wholeheartedly with people everywhere in striving for universal human dignity, freedom, and peace. We are proud to have historically been the voice for women+ as an affiliate of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
Today, the Unitarian Universalist Women’s Federation is building on the legacy of our past, the achievements of the present, and our ambitions for the future. We recognize that, at times in our history, the UUWF advanced harmful white feminist practices that excluded and oppressed women+ of color. We are committed to the work that’s required both as individuals and as an institution to fully embody the justice we want to see in the world. With these truths in mind, we have crafted a vision for our future:
The UUWF builds covenantal relationships amongst UU women that equip us all to be better co-conspirators and allies in the movement for collective liberation.
This vision centers relationships and community-building as our primary work. We do this by offering programs that connect us with one another, teach us new perspectives and skills, and propel us to take meaningful action. We seek to support, illuminate, and build on the work and wisdom already active in congregations and communities across the country. We hope you’ll join us so that we can build a more just world, together.
