Often people ask us what they can do to help the work of the UU-UNO. The most important thing that we can all do is vote - and help others to register to vote - for local, state, and national governments that will promote respect for human rights, the rule of just and equitable laws, sustainable development, and all the values we hold dear. These shared values include decriminalization (inclusive of racial justice and immigration justice), climate justice (with indigenous partnership), gender-based and LGBTQ equity (inclusive of reproductive justice), and electoral and voting justice. An American government with its mission to the United Nations working for our shared values will make the UU-UNO’s job at the United Nations much easier and more effective.

All our values, our work for justice, the communities we love, and the beloved community we seek to create are under attack. Our religious community must speak with moral courage and act with prophetic clarity and determination in the 2020 U.S. electoral cycle. In this political moment, UUs are called to join forces with all people who want to organize our communities and our nation to #VoteLove and #DefeatHate. Let’s UU the Vote in 2020.
