Love is the spirit of our church and it is that love that guides us to seek justice for all. In that spirit the Heritage Social Justice Collaborative brings together individuals who have passion around various areas of social justice.
We gather to share information and support each other around these passions. We meet to generate ideas using the power of group interaction. Individuals or teams take the lead in a specific area of justice work. They communicate their activities to the greater congregation. With congregational involvement, more impact can occur as we work together to change injustices in our world. We also meet to vote on the use of monies from the church’s Social Justice balance sheet account.
Any Heritage UU Church member or friend is welcome to join the Social Justice Collaborative and lead the congregation in their passion.

August Social Justice Collaborative meeting
Heritage UU Church’s Social Justice Collaborative is a way for members and friends concerned about improving the world and protecting democracy to meet and support each other. As a “collaborative,” the group does not set policy or pick projects. Instead, people share the areas of social justice that move them to action and volunteer to help others in their key activities.
Currently, many in the group are concerned about the encroachment of authoritarianism in our society and are taking action to push back. There is also interest in continuing direct help to people who are without housing or are food insecure. Injustices concerning immigrants, persons of color, and the LGBTQ community continue to take our attention.
We invite all Heritage members and friends to join us in a meeting and learn what is going on. The next meeting will be on Sunday, August 16, 2026, starting about ten minutes after the morning worship service.
