Unitarian Universalists across the state have been raising their voices in support of the human right to water in California. Four bills in the Human Right to Water bill package, AB 938, AB 983, AB 1221, and SB 244, have been signed by the Governor! Unfortunately, the cornerstone of the package, AB 685, the Human Right to Water bill, has stalled in the appropriations committee and is on the Suspense File.
Go here for a letter from UULMCA and our allies urging the Governor to support the Human Right to Water bill package. For an updated flier on the bills, click here. To see details on each bill, please go here.
Watch the Video: To watch UULMCA's Climate Justice Minister Earl Koteen (and others) state their reasons for attending the Moving Planet Mega Massive Mobilization in San Francisco go HERE.

Saturday, September 24 was this year's 350.org's worldwide day of action for moving beyond fossil fuels. The Bay area took this moment to advance our legislative agenda with a focus on the Sustainable Communities Act SB 375.
UUs in San Diego supported this successful community wide event.
For connection to UULMCA on this or other climate change concerns email Rev. Earl W. Koteen.
 Unitarian Universalists support the rights of same-sex couples to become legally married. It is a matter of religious freedom and human dignity. We have submitted interfaith briefs in the courts, helped to change hearts and minds in the court of public opinion, supported legislation and opposed Prop 8. Now that we are waiting for the courts to decide if Proposition 8 is constitutional, some are asking if we should take the question back to CA voters to overturn Prop 8 in November 2012. UU Legislative Ministry’s Marriage Equality Leadership Team’s questions and concerns about returning to the ballot can be found here.
