Social Responsibility

Unitarian Universalists have a strong history of social action, both in their local community and on broader national and international issues. Our current formal groups are:

• The Refugee Sponsorship Committee
• The Reconciliation and Dismantling Racism Committee
• The Climate Crisis Team
• The Saturday Brunch
• The Pride Parade Committee

Other initiatives are brought forward by individuals or addressed as the need arises. We also organize informally, seeing each other in local activist circles.

Over the years, UUCH members have been very active in such organizations as the Voice of Women (peace initiatives), support for HIV/AIDS victims, performing same sex marriages since 1976, becoming a Welcoming Congregation, supporting the right to medically-assisted death, supporting Hope Cottage (soup kitchen) and various environmental initiatives.
