Consistent with our Unitarian Universalist heritage, we have long supported and been actively involved in helping to ensure that all people are valued and treated with dignity and respect in our society regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, family status, national origin, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or socioeconomic status, among others. We have been at the forefront of fighting discrimination and unfair treatment wherever it is found as well as fighting laws and policies that threaten our health, civil liberties, and the environment.
