The Texas Unitarian Universalist Justice Ministry (TXUUJM<\/span><\/strong><\/a>) is\u00a0our\u00a0UU state action network, which brings 40 UU congregations and justice partners together from around the state, online and in person, to bring UU values and voices to the public square. We know Texas needs that — and we know what happens in\u00a0Texas doesn’t just stay in Texas either! TXUUJM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit led by Executive Director Rev. Erin Walter and also including Intern Minister Bis Thornton, a First UU member.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, TXUUJM has also been organizing and educating UUs\u00a0around crucial issues, from\u00a0trans<\/span> inclusion<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0democracy<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, all year long. TXUUJM is part of the nationwide Coalition of UU State Action Networks (CUUSAN) and the Teach the Truth Coalition, which advocates from schools board to the State Board of Education to the Legislature for accurate and inclusive curriculum,\u00a0public school funding, and the separation of church and state.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Every Thursday night in Zoom\u00a0<\/strong>Action Hour<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, TXUUJM members take action together around climate, immigration, the death penalty, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

TXUUJM is a grassroots justice nonprofit made possible by people power\u00a0and the generosity of congregational dues and individual donations. By sharing the plate, we join with fellow UUs around the state in the lifelong work of Bending Texas Toward Justice.<\/p>\n

At First UU, we are the justice ministry — a founding congregation and the largest UU congregation in the capital city. TXUUJM cannot do this work without us \u2013 without you. Thank you for making First UU’s generous support of\u00a0TXUUJM possible!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
