2024 UUA General Assembly
In June 2024, the UUA General Assembly passed a number of items that will have a profound impact on the direction of the UUA.
Most importantly was the passing of the proposed “Love at the Center” changes to Article II. While there was some uncertainty and resistance to giving up our beloved 7 Principles, the new “Values” have encompassed much of what the Principles called out for us. These “Values” are Equity, Generosity, Interdependence, Justice, Pluralism, and Transformation, centered around Love.
In addition to passing the proposed Article II changes, the UUA also passed the following resolutions and actions of immediate witness:
Business Resolution: “Embracing Transgender, Nonbinary and Intersex People is a Fundamental Expression of UU Religious Values
Responsive Resolution: “UUA General Assembly Support for October 7 Hostages”
Actions of Immediate Witness:
“World on Fire: Humanitarian Work and Climate Change.” Calls on the U.S. government to declare climate change a public health emergency for UUs to advocate and work for climate justice.
“Solidarity with Palestinians.” Call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for the liberation of Palestine and to advocate and work for organizations that support Palestinians and seek to end genocide everywhere.
“Centering Love Amidst the Ongoing Impact of COVID-19.” Call to advocate for those adversely impacted by the end of the COVID Emergency, e.g. marginalized and high-risk groups, victims of Long COVID, et al.
