Conversion therapy is harmful & discredited. The UUA joined faith partners in urging the Supreme Court to uphold Colorado’s ban. Queer youth deserve protection, dignity & love—always. Read more: http://bit.ly/47dnriF

A graphic with a black background and a rainbow-colored heart made of diffused light in the center. At the top, a blue rectangle contains the white text “UUWorld.” Centered on the image is a large white quote in bold text: “We want queer youth to know they are whole and they are loved, just as they are.” Beneath the quote, smaller white text reads: “– Carey McDonald, UUA Executive Vice President.” At the bottom left is the Unitarian Universalist flaming chalice logo filled with horizontal rainbow stripes. Along the bottom, white text reads: “UUWorld.org.”

Free EC is more than a project.

It’s a movement – and it’s powered by volunteers who believe in freedom, not barriers.
📦 They pack kits.
📣 They spread the word.
✨ They fight for a future where care is accessible, free, and stigma-free.

❤️🖤💚 On Juneteenth, we honor the resilience of Black communities and the ongoing struggle for true liberation. As UUs, we recommit to dismantling white supremacy and ensuring that freedom is not symbolic but lived—every day, by all. #Juneteenth #UU #Liberation #BelovedCommunity
A graphic honoring Juneteenth on a gray textured background. At the top, bold black text reads: “Honoring JUNETEENTH Freedom Day.” Below that, in italic script: “A day of truth, resilience, and liberation.” Surrounding the text are outlined illustrations of raised fists in the top corners. At the bottom center, a red, black, and green Pan-African flag waves on a flagpole, with silhouettes of protesters and raised signs in the background. The Unitarian Universalist Association chalice symbol is in the lower left corner, and “UUA.ORG ” is printed in black along the bottom.

Do you even SPARC?! Huh? Spiritual and Progressive Adults’ Recreational Collective is where busy, young(ish) UU spiritual seekers come together for good vibes once a month. In June, we have a volunteer opportunity with the December 5th Foundation. So cool! Check it out!

The UUA proudly joins a multifaith coalition & the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection in opposition to the federal government's rescission of ICE’s sensitive locations policy, which violates the 1st Amendment & the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

A digital graphic features a screenshot from UU World, the magazine of the Unitarian Universalist Association. At the top, the UU World logo appears in blue text. Below it, the headline in bold black font reads: "UUA, Other Religious Groups Sue Trump Administration to Halt Immigration Arrests at Houses of Worship." A subheading in smaller black text states: "The Trump policy allowing raids in houses of worship violates the First Amendment, the lawsuit argues." The byline attributes the article to Elaine McArdle and is dated 2/11/2025. Below the text, there is an illustration with a stylized American flag background. The left side of the flag is blue with white, hand-drawn stars, while the right side features red and white stripes. In the foreground, there is a black and white sketch of a group of people walking in a line, including adults and children, carrying backpacks and holding hands as they move forward. At the bottom of the image, a black rectangular banner with white bold text reads: "Read more at http://bit.ly/uuworld-immigration."
