We Believe Justice Work is Spiritual Work

World globe held up by hands

For decades, Unitarian Universalists in Canada have taken action for peace and equity, grounded by love and dignity.  Resolutions dating back to 1963 demonstrate the passion that Unitarian Universalists dedicate to justice and environmental issues. Today, we continue that legacy – rooted in spiritual courage, ancestral wisdom, and radical love.

The Canadian Unitarian Council (CUC) supports and amplifies the grassroots organizing of its member communities through education, training, and spiritual grounding. We lead nationally – developing educational toolkits, hosting learning circles and elders’ gatherings, and pushing forward initiatives like Land Back and anti-racism systems change. We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we’re committed to learning and evolving, together. Justice isn’t just what we do – it’s at the core of who we are.

“We are called upon to engage in the struggle for human betterment. We don’t know ahead of time if we’ll succeed. In fact, we will often fail. But when success does come, it is oh so sweet!”
—Rev. Fred Cappuccino
