The Minnesota UU Social Justice Alliance brings together UUs and UU congregations to work collectively for social change based on our religious imperative to create a just, sustainable, and peaceful world. We are following in the foot steps of dedicated and visionary UUs like Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Pete Seeger, Margaret Sanger and many others who dedicated themselves to improving life for all people.
Our goals are to:
- Build a lasting social justice organization.
- Prepare UUs to do powerful social change work, using a reflection, action, collaboration approach.
- Develop and bring a distinctly UU moral voice to the public square.
- Wage campaigns in coalition with interfaith and secular partners to achieve winnable systemic social change.
- Shift civic culture toward policies that serve the common good.
The Prairie Star District is MUUSJA's fiscal sponsor, and we are funded in part by a generous grant from the UU Funding Program's Fund for a Just Society. Your memberships and individual gifts, as well as donations from UU congregations, provide our most significant funding.

Minnesotans United Phone Banks
Phone Bank for Minnesotans United For All Families! Minnesotans United is the official campaign to defeat the anti-marriage amendment. Your conversations with voters can help move Minnesota one step closer to LGBT equality. Put your UU faith into action by phone banking!
Calling undecided voters, so you can have conversations with them about why marriage matters and ask them questions about where they stand on the issue, is the most important work you can be doing at this point! Each phone bank includes a detailed and engaging training on how to talk to supporters and undecided voters.
Mon-Thurs phone banks are from 6:30-9:30pm
Sunday phone banks are from 5:30-8:30pm.
Phone banks begin with a training and end with a large group debrief. All phone banks are located at the Minnesotans United Volunteer Action Center, 1821 University Ave West (Griggs Midway Building), on Fairview at University, St Paul. Sign up on line. For any questions email volunteer@mnunited.org or call 651-330-6852.
Oppose Discrimination in Our State Constitution!
A state Constitutional Amendment to permanently bar marriage for same-sex couples is on the ballot for November, 2012. MUUSJA supports committed, loving couples regardless of gender, and opposes enshrining discrimination into our state's founding document.
You can join the official statewide coalition working against the marriage amendment at Minnesotans United for All Families.
MUUSJA's working group, UUs Out for Marriage Equality (UUO4ME) is ramping up, too. So join us! Next UUO4ME meeting: Sunday, June 3rd, 6:30-8:00 pm. First Universalist Church, 3400 Dupont Ave S, Minneapolis. And by web-conference.
