UUJusticePA 2021 September Newsletter

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 .
