Read on and be informed about the work of UUJusticePA. Our newsletter masthead photo is of the back of the Capitol in Harrisburg.  Our Capital is a beautiful, opulent building but also hides a lot of corruption.  We are working to change that reality.  Our newsletter will be published and e-mailed to all of our supporters early each month.  If you want to include an article, please contact Rev. Joan at director@uujusticepa.org.

Rev. Joan’s Blog 
Save our Democracy; Show Up​​​

As UUA President Susan Frederick-Gray often reminds us, "we are living in precarious times."  And Susan said this before January 6, and bills across the country to suppress elections and threats in PA for an Arizona-style ballot audit.  It is easy to get discouraged.  But we must not.  We must hold firm to our values of justice and equality and to our belief that we ALL matter.

In a presentation to the 8th Principle working group last week, Nicole Presley said, “The Pro-Democracy coalition is sleep-walking into the next election.”  We need to wake them up!!
