While much of our daily news is filled with stories that challenge our optimism and sense of decency, there are many ways community leaders and organizations are resisting and enacting positive change. The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee is a prime example.
Here are just three examples of how UUSC, through its project partners, are addressing the situation.

Like so many grassroots organizations around the country, UUSC’s partner GLAHR, in Georgia, is educating immigrant communities about their legal rights and equipping them with the skills they need to defend themselves.

In Philadelphia, UUSC is partnering with Asylum Pride House to provide services for LGBTQ+ people escaping persecution.

And in Sudan and Burma, where war and violence have created devastating and protracted humanitarian crises, UUSC and its partners are filling in the foreign aid gaps to ensure that those with the least access to assistance receive the support they need.
