Those Closest to the Problem Are Closest to the Solution

Following the Leadership of Directly Impacted Partners - It's been a long tradition at UUCP to take our justice leadership from directly-impacted partners: from marching in Selma, to organizing against SB1070, and that continues into our anti-racism work today. Join us as we welcome back Janine Gelsinger, the Executive Director of UUJAZ (Unitarian Universalist Justice Arizona), in conversation with some of the frontline leaders of our partner organizations. Hear their stories, as we discuss what it means to do justice work together, and where we might go next.
