From UUA Advocacy and Witness: Call for Congregational Study/Action Issues (CSAI) Proposals!

Congregations and Districts are encouraged to submit proposals for Association-wide study/action for 2010-2014. Proposers within a congregation or district should select a topic that reflects Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) Principles and will warrant four years of study and action (only one proposal may be submitted by a congregation or district). Proposers should draft the proposal following the format requirements of the Proposer's Guide. Then the proposers should request their board of trustees, congregation or district to approve the proposal.
-
The proposal must be received by the Commission on Social Witness by October 1, 2009, either online, via fax or U.S. mail.
-
The present two approved CSAIs are 2006-2010 Peacemaking and 2008-2010 Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice. Up to 10 CSAI Proposals may be submitted to the Congregational Poll (which opens on November 15, 2009). Make one yours. The final selection will be made by the delegates of the 2010 General Assembly in Minneapolis. Contact socialwitness@uua.org with any questions.
