In 1903, child textile workers marched from Philadelphia to New York City to demand fair labor standards. Desegregation, nuclear disarmament, voting rights, and the Dream Act- all moments when youth and children forced change in our country. Join UUCP's high school group (YRUU) to look at how activism has shaped their lives, their communities, their faith, and our world.

Immigrants are released from detention almost every day, often with children, to travel by bus to relatives in the U.S. as they await resolution of their legal cases. They are given next to nothing for their journeys. Please see someone at the Advancing Justice tables at the back of the Sanctuary for more information and a list of needed items.
