In 2002, the congregation at the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood passed a Commitment to Anti-Racism. In keeping with this action, the display of a Black Lives Matter banner was approved in 2016. The work of Racial Justice is ongoing and carried out by the Racial Justice Team in cooperation with the Minister, Director of Religious Education, and committed congregants.
The Unitarian Society of Ridgewood Racial Justice Team promotes racial justice and multiculturalism and acts to dismantle racism and other oppressions within ourselves, our congregation, and in our communities through partnerships with others.
The group meets monthly September through June to discuss racial justice issues, to plan USR actions and events and to report on community engagements that carry out the Racial Justice Team’s purpose. For information, email widerworld.usr@gmail.com
