Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East has chapters and local advocates throughout the United States. UUs in other locations around the world are also welcome to get involved. We encourage you to start a chapter. Why? It is meaningful to gather in community as an organized group to learn, teach, and take action as Unitarian Universalists. It is important to have a group for continuation of the work in your congregation, in the event that a single activist is no longer available. Growing multiple chapters builds consciousness and the ability of our national UU organization to take stronger positions.
Useful links to help you plan your chapter:
After we receive your Chapter Interest form, our organizer, Jolly, will reach out to you by email or phone.
If you are ready to apply to be a chapter, see the following:
