Oregon UU Voices for Justice has four campaign areas -- Deepening Democracy, Human Rights, Economic Inequality, and Environmental Justice. At our annual conference in October 2017, we identified specific action items within each of these campaigns and people who are taking the lead on each. We have maintained those four campaigns since then.
Some of these campaigns will stay in touch throughout the year and organize via Zoom to continue the work started during the Annual Conference. If you have an interest in these campaigns, please contact the lead. Deepening Democracy - Lead: David Delk
