The Peace & Justice committee has a long and rich history of advocacy, public witness, and leadership in the community.  We focus on building a world that is sustainable and just, through:

• Strong local climate action
• Protecting our democracy
• Working with community partners

Who are we?

We are fun, hopeful, committed people who have a vision of a just and sustainable world. We seek to inspire, educate, and advocate — nurturing fellowship and action within EUUC and beyond. We make a difference. We enrich our work by offering each other comfort, courage, friendship, and strength through our shared values and mission.

We would love to have you join us!

All are welcome! The Climate Justice team meets at 7 pm on the first Thursday of the month by zoom, September to June, with a retreat/social gathering in summer. Reach out to us for the zoom info!

Contact our Co-Chairs:  Gayle Leberg, Cindy Creager, and Julie Taylor

Affiliated Teams

The Peace & Justice committee focuses on core issues. The most urgent problem to be addressed is the climate crisis, but we cannot make any progress in this or any other justice issue, without also addressing the corruption of our democracy.  The main committee focuses on the climate crisis, and we sponsor the Democracy Action and Sno-King Meaningful Movies teams.

Be present in our community, as leaders and collaborators, to amplify our ability to make changes locally and beyond.
