What does climate loss sound like?

A language with fewer speakers or perhaps a coastline your grandmother could name, but your children won't recognize.

This is "non-economic loss and damage" and what #PacificRising is bringing to #WomenDeliver2026 next week. 🌺

Fighting anti-gender rhetoric with logic alone won't work.

"It will destroy the family. The nation. Biblical authority."

That's how opponents describe gender, and Judith Butler wants us to ask: what are the *actual* sources of destruction in this world?

In 2025, the ICJ unanimously ruled that nations have legal obligations to prevent harm caused by climate change.

This April 22, #EarthDay, the UN votes on implementing that ruling.

A proposed rule could block up to 2 million asylum-seekers from working. Work authorization is what allows people seeking safety to support themselves and their families.

Soon we’ll launch a campaign with the UU Solidarity Initiative to defend this right.

A Rohingya refugee seeking safety should not have faced neglect.

Let’s talk about money.

At UUSC, 70% of our grants go to general operating support, so grassroots partners can decide how resources are used. 97% of our donors are everyday people, keeping us accountable to the communities we serve.

Human rights work should be community-driven and trustworthy.
