The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process

within our congregations and in society at large.

— past 5^th UU Principle

Increasingly, our government ignores the will of the people, making us feel powerless.  We believe we can and must speak up!  There is hope in people exercising their rights.  Some of the ways that we help empower our congregation:

• Offer letters to legislators and public comment opportunities
• Host forums related to initiatives or current issues
• Participate in get-out-the-vote efforts by phone-banking, text-banking, and writing postcards
• Maintain Legislative Actions email list for those who wish to be alerted to action in the state legislature (sign up by contacting the Peace & Justice co-chairs)
• Attend lobby days in Olympia
• Attend rallies and protests
• Stand up for civil and human rights
• Partner with UU Voices for Justice and Faith Action Network
