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.

Social Justice Collaborative Meeting
Sunday, October 27, 2024
Approximately 10 minutes after the morning worship service.
How fulfilling does it feel to help families who are homeless? You can learn about Found House and how Heritage supports St. John’s UU in its hosting.
What are the next events coming up for Anderson Churches for Racial Unity (ACRU) and Greater Anderson Promotes Peace (GAPP)? You can learn about these well before the events.
In the upcoming election, why does the national Poor People’s Campaign identify the oppressed as the possible swing vote? You can learn about the Campaign’s broad objectives.
We’ll discuss these and other areas, such as the Indigenous People’s Study Group, LGBTQ+ issues, and government reform efforts, at the next meeting of the HUUC Social Justice Collaborative. It takes place on Sunday, October 27, in the Heritage Room, starting around ten minutes after the completion of worship.
Come to learn about and contribute on one of topics mentioned above, or raise your own area of concern. All HUUC members and friends are welcome.
If you have questions or ideas, please see the person putting together the agenda, Mimi Sinclair. Her email address is
