It’s a new year full of new possibilities! Yes, UUs across the state may be faced with a mountain of social justice challenges. Yes, we can feel overwhelmed by the ongoing impact of the pandemic, political divisiveness, and more. But there is something magical happening, and possibilities emerging all around us. The South Carolina UU Justice Alliance formed in 2021 thanks to a startup grant of the Unitarian Universalist Fund for Social Responsibility.
