The Social Justice Action Committee is a vital part of First Church’s missionto move the UUA principles of equity and justice into action. The SJAC serves as the liaison between the church and the wider community. It monitors community needs, communicates community issues to the church congregation and leads church participation in addressing those issues. The SJAC supports a varied and expandable list of projects related to affirming our convictions for a more socially just world. Representative projects include team leadership in the Mother’s Day Walk for Peace, meal preparation for Common Cathedral on Boston Common, leadership support for the monthly Vigil in Support of Black Lives Matter, team participation in the Partakers project for incarcerated people, advocacy on climate justice issues, and support for the church’s ongoing mission to understand and address its historical relationship to the displacement and enslavement of Indigenous and Black people. All are welcome.
