Good Government Team

Picture
Our purpose: Fueled by our commitment to the democratic process, the UUCY Good Government Team celebrates pro-democracy movements and shares ideas on how you can join with other UU's across Pennsylvania to affect needed government reform. 
​
A true democracy brings out the best parts of who we are and protects us from our worst selves. It disperses power, is transparent, and encourages mutual accountability. But since the sixties, an anti-democracy movement has shifted power to a small circle of billionaires and large corporations, like the Koch brothers, and the American Enterprise Institute, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), Heritage Foundation, and CATO Institute. 
 
We will not give up until we reestablish genuine democracy. There is a rewarding, even exhilarating role for each of us in making democracy real. By working for change in state government, where our voices have the most power, we work for legislative change through UUPLAN and March on Harrisburg.

For ideas on community partnerships or to get involved by joining the conversation, contact Team Leader Carol Stowell ([email protected]).

UUJusticePA brings together the 37 UU Congregations in PA with its 5300 members as one power voice for progressive values in PA state government. We pursue justice by voting, advocating, and making just public policies. 

Each year UUJusticePA sets and tracks legislative priorities, partnering with similar organizations like the Poor Peoples Campaign and March on Harrisburg, and meets and speaks with state legislators to advocate for change. We have six justice teams that hold monthly conference calls with other UU activists across the state.  Individual teams focus on criminal, economic, environment, and reproductive justice, as well as good government reform and gun violence prevention. 

Rev. Joan Sabatino, our Executive Director, lives in Harrisburg and provides training and leads lobby teams in the state Capitol.
