Legislative Advocacy
Be Part of the AUUC Advocacy Team in 2020!
Over the past few years, AUUC has become increasingly involved in advocacy at the federal, state and local levels. At the federal level, we have worked with Unitarian Universalists for Social Justice(UUSJ) by participating in the Write Here/ Write Now letter writing campaigns, monthly in-person advocacy on Capitol Hill, and ‘witnessing events.’ At the state level, we worked with the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy (VICPP), ARC of Northern Virginia, Equality VA, and OneVirginia2021. We participated in email campaigns, made phone calls to state legislators and participated in their various lobby days in Richmond. Locally, we have actively supported Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE), having as many as 45 people at some of the VOICE Actions.
