Our Commitment to Palestinian Liberation

At the 2024, UUA General Assembly, Unitarian Universalist congregations from across the US came together to declare the following:
“Resolved: We, the delegates of the 2024 General Assembly, call on our UU congregations and communities to be in solidarity with Palestinians by engaging in the following actions based on the guidance of Palestinian and impacted partner organizations:

1. Witnessing

  • Call for the liberation of Palestine and an end to the apartheid; declare our moral outrage and shared horror at Israel’s massacre, mass incarceration, torture, destruction of the land, and poisoning soil for future generations, and decimation of systems of care that support life in the region.
  • Call for an immediate permanent ceasefire, massive humanitarian aid, the release of all captives, and an end to genocide around the world.

2. Educating

  • Hold teach-ins about Palestine and Israel that include sacred spaces for spiritual processing.

3. Organizing and Advocating

  • Engage with Palestinian-led groups and coalitions supporting liberation.
  • Sign, amplify, and carry out the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge.
  • Support boycott, divestment, and sanctions against Israel and corporate enablers, and end US military aid to Israel, until it ceases its policies and practices of apartheid, military occupation, settler colonialism, and genocide.
  • Protect the freedom and safety of solidarity activists by supporting protests and opposing legislation and policies that restrict First Amendment rights.”

At our last congregational meeting, the Fellowship adopted this resolution and made a commitment to taking this on as part of our holy calling and work in this world.  

To that end, we will be partnering with other, both local and larger, organizations to keep you abreast of ways you can support the cause of Palestinian liberation, gain continuing education, become a greater advocate and ally and put your heart and values to work in support of this righteous effort.
