Section 2. Racial Justice Community Covenant: Resistance and Harmony
Our unique identity within Unitarian Universalism as a diverse, anti-racist People of Color community, carries with it both responsibilities and opportunities.
Therefore, we covenant with one another to:
Change the racial status quo in the Unitarian Universalist Association,
Develop tools and strategies to work together,
Remain together and present with one another through disagreement and conflict,
Connect to this organization and one another throughout our professional and personal affiliations with the UUA,
Provide vision and leadership for the Journey Toward Wholeness,
Hold one another accountable in our efforts to become an anti-oppressive faith community.
