Advocate,

Today we begin 10-for-10, a celebration of ten years of shared leadership under Executive Director Pablo DeJesús — and a 10-day campaign to fuel the next decade of UUSJ’s justice work.

As a Board, we want to honor not only Pablo’s contributions, but the collective effort of volunteers, partners, congregations, and coalitions who have shaped UUSJ’s journey.

As Unitarians and Universalists in Washington DC, we carry a justice lineage that stretches from the Civil Rights Era to today.

UUSJ’s organizational journey began in 1999–2000, responding to a growing desire for a loud, unified UU voice on public policy issues in DC, grounded in activism. Our earliest priorities focused on Civil Marriage and educational funding. In 2010, we underwent a further transformation, evolving into the organization we are today.

Peruse our lineage overview HERE.

Pablo’s decade sits within that long arc — and we are grateful for the many hands that have carried this work forward.

Over the next 10 days, we’ll share stories of:

• Moral courage
• Coalition victories
• Values-rooted decision-making
• Unfinished justice
• and the people behind the policy

Join us with a gift of $10, $100, $1,000, or $10/month. Make your Day 1 gift now to launch the celebration.

In Solidarity,
UUSJ Board of Trustees
