Guided by Rev. Kelly Asprooth-Jackson (Criminal Justice Reform, Racial Justice, and Climate Action) and Rev. Kelly Crocker (Welcoming Congregation), our social justice Ministry Teams work in a structured, supported environment to ensure that volunteers’ time, energy, and passion have a tangible impact. The focus of these teams is driven by our shared values as Unitarian Universalists that urge us all to promote human dignity, equity, peace, democracy, and respect for the natural world.

The Criminal Justice Reform team at FUS (formerly the MOSES Ministry Team) advocates for an end to mass incarceration, mass supervision and racial disparities within the Wisconsin justice system.

We work closely with MOSES Madison (Madison Organizing in Strength, Equality, and Solidarity), an interfaith grassroots organization with the same aims, of which FUS is a founding and active member.

This Racial Justice Ministry Team works to identify, understand, and unlearn racism within ourselves, our congregation, and the larger community. We meet virtually on the 4th Tuesday at 6:30 to plan upcoming events, followed by affinity group anti-racist conversations. New members are welcome.

FUS is a Welcoming Congregation, as recognized by the Unitarian Universalist Association, and our vision challenges us to be a community of radical welcome. Our Welcoming Congregation team works to affirm and include all in the LGBTQ+IA community at every level of congregational life, welcoming them in their wholeness.  Our current work focuses on promoting ongoing dialogue and education in small groups and worship, supporting Trans and Non-Binary folks with our Trans Square Support Group, and advocating for the rights and dignity of LGBTQ+IA individuals.

The Climate Action Team channels our concern about climate change into raising awareness and advocating for meaningful action. We invite all FUS members and friends to join us at our monthly virtual meetings on third Tuesdays at 7 PM.
