DefendingDemocracy@firstparish.info
This working group focuses on equity, fairness, and justice issues in Massachusetts, guided by UU Principles related to justice and the democratic process. The group participates in efforts (with UU the Vote) to oppose and overcome discriminatory barriers to voting, and supports issues like the Massachusetts Fair Share Amendment, a ballot question on taxing income over $1 million/year to produce funding for public education and transportation. This group has begun organizing to enhance civics education in Massachusetts.
