Racial Justice Team
Our purpose: Fueled by our commitment to love, we join with community partners to actively work for racial justice and safety everywhere.
Our UUCY Racial Justice Team works toward racial justice at the local, state, and national levels. Our first task is to educate ourselves and other interested members of the UUCY community about the issues, potential avenues for change, and community programs that we might choose to support.
For ideas on community partnerships or to get involved by joining the conversation, contact Team Leader Anne-Marie Hober (annalon@terralon.net).

UUCY’s Racial Justice Team Leader: Anne-Marie Hober has been an active UUCY member for over 15 years. She has taught Religious Education classes, served as Board Secretary, was part of the group that dreamed of and made our labyrinth, and has been on the Racial Justice team for many years under Bryan Stevens. She works now to keep us informed and growing in our commitment to undo racism while recognizing and utilizing the privilege we have. Inspired by Ibram X. Kendi's words that it is not enough to “not be a racist” – as white people in 2020 America, she believes that we need to be “Anti-Racist” to counter the ugly in our culture and the hate that has always existed. It is time for UUCY to become Anti-Racist accomplices and not only passive allies.
