JUUST Change Anti-Oppression Consultancy Program

The UUA is committed to creative partnerships with our congregations as we pursue living in Beloved Community; to transform ourselves as congregations, so that we are vibrant, spirited, anti-oppressive, pluralistic communities. Our faith is best manifested through relationships that allow deep and honest sharing with one another about what matters most to us, including justice and standing strong against oppression. Such relationships involve active listening, the willingness to acknowledge mistakes, fears, or uncertainty, faith in one another's good intentions, and a desire for transformation that is stronger than the desire for safety and comfort.

The JUUST Change Consultancy is designed to help congregations increase their effectiveness in anti-oppression and social justice work. Meeting congregations where they are, the Consultancy honors and supports the anti-oppression work congregations are already doing. Drawing on insights and experiences from work with linked oppressions, JUUST Change consultants guide congregations and other groups as they identify their next steps, build on their strengths, and expand their capacity to fully engage the work of justice.
