Anti-Racism, Anti-Oppression, Multicultural (ARAOMC) Resources
Many Paths, One Journey
Our Unitarian Universalist Principles call us to affirm:
- The inherent worth and dignity of each person.
- Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations.
- The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all.
The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) encourages our leaders to learn, grow, and educate on behalf of our anti-racist, anti-oppression, multicultural (ARAOMC) mission so that we may champion the Association's commitment to meeting congregations where they are and assisting them as they grow into anti-racist, anti-oppressive and culturally competent religious communities. In keeping with Unitarian Universalist Principles we are called to take another step in this challenging work, to become an active, spiritually alive institution and to meet our ARAOMC goals.
The UUA continues to provide up-to-date resources to Unitarian Universalists as we work to build beloved, inclusive communities, including recommendations for books, DVDs, and other media to help individuals and congregations build multicultural competency. Workshops and other ARAOMC events (including Jubilee Workshops, JUUST Change, conferences, and more!) are ongoing and often open to the public or to Unitarian Universalists who are not members of the host congregation.
