The CSW, based on the feedback, will re-draft the potential SOC for inclusion in 2000 GA Final Agenda. Continental We , the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, hereby rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of economic justice, an end to racism, and an end to the poverty that is the bitter fruit of economic racism.
Racism is perpetuated by class structure.
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. The war on poverty is over, and the losers are tens of millions of children and parents who continue to live in poverty and hopelessness, a disproportionate share of whom are racial minorities. Economic injustice thrives unabated in spite of the longest period of economic prosperity in our history. Justice is central to our common Unitarian Universalist faith. We understand justice as being rooted in the equality of all persons and we strive for a community in which each individual possesses equal opportunity.
