Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC)
UUSC is our dedicated UU organization that advances human rights globally. Its work reflects our UU principle that all people have inherent rights and dignity.
UUSC has a unique and effective strategy: it works with and supports carefully selected partner organizations on the front lines where injustice is happening. This enables UUSC to identify and respond to the most critical needs. UUSC specifically focuses on immigrant rights, the rights of people at risk because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and communities affected by climate change and natural disasters.
Currently, UUSC is responding to immigrant human rights issues at the US/Mexico border, and also works with organizations in Mexico and Central America. UUSC is partnering with organizations protecting the rights of vulnerable people affected by violence in Burma and Ukraine, and people affected by climate change in Haiti. Closer to home, UUSC is working with Austin Sanctuary Network right here to protect immigrant rights.
