STITCH: Women Organizing for Worker Justice
The documentary, Pushing Back: Women Speak Out on Trade gives a first-hand view on how the 2006 passing of Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) has impacted the lives of women in the last five years and the challenges facing women workers throughout the region as it explores the realities of globalization, trade, and immigration with a unique glimpse into the organizaing methods used by women unionists for women unionists in Honduras. Watch the 18-minute short documentary now! In late July 2011, STITCH hosted an all women's labor solidarity delegation to Honduras to assess the impact of the CAFTA on women in the region. Drawing links between economic changes and their everyday lives, women workers shared their stories on how CAFTA has led to an increase in labor flexibilization, unemployment, violations of worker rights, and discrimination against women and the importance of organizing women workers.

Keep Talking, Start Doing: Ten Ways to Deepen Your Congregation's Multiculturalism Journey
Home » Social Justice » Multiculturalism » Introduction to Multiculturalism » 10 Ways to Deepen Your Multiculturalism Journey The work of anti-racist multiculturalism is central to who we are as a faith community; and it is about shifting our cultures, not just shifting our numbers. Whether you're just beginning this journey or you've been on the path for many years, we hope you will find useful suggestions within this brief resource, which offers some tools to help you do, or continue to do, intentional work within your community around anti-racism, anti-oppression, and multiculturalism. Unless we, as faith communities, ground ourselves in a commitment to welcome all people not as unfamiliar visitors, but as siblings in spirit, newcomers to be embraced with open arms, we will not easily progress toward the vision of Beloved Community toward which we are striving. With that in mind, here are ten ideas for deepening your engagement with this work:UU Legislative Ministries

Home » Social Justice » Economic Justice “We tend to treat changes in the economy as if they were like the weather—natural phenomena governed by forces beyond our control. Nothing could be further from the truth. We have chosen to live in a society with high unemployment and with income distribution that is becoming medieval. A tiny percentage of Americans owns most of the wealth.
