At the next meeting they repeat the cycle. The best way to start action groups is to identify those issues people are deeply concerned about and want to act on. Unitarian Universalists have successfully organized people around women's issues, environmental issues, and peace issues because people care deeply about them. Once members of a congregation have set up action groups they must develop a way to coordinate these groups and an overall social justice program. They set up a coordinating group or a council to do so.
Some action groups meet together once a month.
Such is the case with the Unitarian Universalist Community Church in Park Forest, Illinois. This congregation has action groups called Hunger and Homeless Housing, Peace and World Affairs, Women's Issues, and Ecology. They share news of their activities and host speakers on other social justice issues. During this meeting people are also encouraged to write letters to legislators. Other congregations structure their coordination so that the task group leaders meet only four or five times a year.
