Testimonials From Members - Why I Became A Unitarian Universalist
Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825-1921), Unitarian minister.
“Throughout my life, I have addressed issues such as slavery abolition, temperance, and women's rights. In 1902, I helped found the Unitarian Society of Elizabeth, NJ, and served as its minister. In 1920, at age 95, I was the only participant from the 1850 Women's Rights Convention, in Worcester, MA, to see the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote.”

May Sharing Partner
The Alliance for Fair Food stands with farmworkers confronting abusive conditions and sub-poverty wages in Florida.
These Florida farmworkers faced human rights abuses, including wage theft, sexual harassment, and health and safety violations. In 1993, farmworkers in Immokalee, FL from Mexico, Guatemala and Haiti united to become the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW).
Following the lead of the CIW, the Alliance for Fair Food has played a central role in fighting for greater human rights. Check out their website to see all they have accomplished.
