United Congregations of Metro-East (UCM) calls friends, allies, and the public to assemble with elected officials to present solutions to injustices in our communities and to ask for commitments of their support. UCM will be gathering 10 years after its initial beginnings with only 6 member congregations. It now has 26 congregations, representing 23,000 members. The issues being addressed are:
· jobs and training for local, low-income workers, minorities, and women
- affordable, workforce housing
- responsible state budget for schools, social services, and local governments
UCM believes, by working together in faith and fellowship, people can transcend their differences to work for peace, justice and equity for all. UCM is an affiliate of the Gamaliel Foundation which teaches ordinary citizens to unleash the power within themselves to collectively impact social, political, environmental, and economic decisions affecting their lives.
