| Form 990, Part I, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: | Guided by UU principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, UUSC strives to advance human rights, dismantle systems of oppression, and uplift and affirm the inherent worth and dignity of all people. We center the voices and experiences of those most affected and strengthen those grassroots groups and movements who are organizing themselves to advance these goals. In order to accomplish this, we offer justice education and leadership development; engagement and mobilization for advocacy; partner support; and grant funding. UUSC aims to leverage our particular strategic assets and strengths to disrupt criminalization and systemic oppression of people based on their identities; support self-determination and defend the rights of people who are or may be forced to leave the places they call home due to climate, conflict, or economic hardship, and address the root causes of forced displacement; and respond to humanitarian crises as partners with people whose access to aid is most limited, by helping them to rebuild their lives and by addressing the human rights issues or violations that make them more vulnerable. In all of our work, UUSC and our partners work with the communities most affected by injustice, including: In Burma, our partners are focused on protecting the rights of the ethnic minority communities. In Poland and Ukraine, our partners are working with those most impacted by the full-scale Russian invasion, including women, LGBTQ+ people, the Roma, Black and African-descended people, and people with disabilities and their caregivers. In Mexico and Central America, UUSC's partners work with people who have been displaced from their home countries by state-sanctioned and gender-based violence, are at risk of being displaced, or who have been repatriated and are in continued danger. In the U.S., our partners work with criminalized populations, including undocumented people and those at risk of deportation. In Alaska, Louisiana, and the Pacific, UUSC's partners are advancing and protecting the rights of populations at risk of climate-forced displacement. In the Bahamas, UUSC is supporting grassroots partners working with the communities most impacted by Hurricane Dorian, including Haitian immigrants who are subjected to ongoing discrimination and completely ignored by the mainstream response to the hurricane. In Haiti, we are partnering with organizations working with women, activists, and journalists fighting for their sovereignty and self-determination in the face of Haiti's political crisis. In the past fiscal year, UUSC made more than 120 grants and amendments worth $2.53 million to grassroots organizations working in countries around the world. UUSC's Impact What does it mean to have a human rights "impact"? For UUSC, "impact" means building movements for systemic change. Impact means using our power and privilege as a US-based nonprofit to amplify the power of the grassroots by following the leadership of communities directly affected by injustice. It is addressing immediate harms and their root causes, to dismantle oppressive systems including those from which we benefit. In short, our impact can be seen in the steps we take on the way to building a more just, equitable, and regenerative world. These are ambitious goals to be sure. Achieving them will take time, and the work that will make them possible is not always quantifiable or readymade for public consumption. The themes, stories, and outcomes we choose to highlight in our work, therefore, are chosen because they help us understand whether or not our work is supporting those long-term, systemic impacts, as we strive to make progress on our human rights goals. We are proud that many of our highlights showcase UUSC's approach: consulting with our grassroots partners, frontline communities, and other allies and then leveraging whatever resources we have to make a collective impact on our shared struggle for justice and human rights. In every case, we aim to put our grassroots partners at the center, showing the power of social change when it is led by communities confronting oppression and injustice. Fiscal Year 2023 Impact Highlights This year, UUSC helped strengthen grassroots movements, addressed immediate harms while working toward systemic solutions, and centered the experiences and wisdom of the communities most impacted by injustice. Below are just a few of the highlights of how we did this. Some examples of this year's impacts across our work include: Strengthening grassroots-led humanitarian relief responses by the Rohingya, Karen, and Karenni ethnic minority groups to the ongoing violence and human rights abuses perpetrated by the Burmese military following the attempted military coup in February 2021. Documenting and reporting on ongoing human rights abuses by the Burmese military in Karenni State. Working with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights to coordinate a visit by two Special Rapporteurs to communities most impacted by the climate crisis in Alaska and Louisiana, which led to a report related to those impacts, centering our partners and their communities. Developing a portfolio of 11 grassroots partners working in Poland and Ukraine on the impacts of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Strengthening Indigenous community-led responses to loss and damage from the climate crisis in the Pacific. Supporting a coalition of youth from the Pacific to file a request with the International Court of Justice for an advisory opinion on the human rights obligations of states to address the impacts of the climate crisis. Supporting a Rohingya-led effort to preserve the language and culture of Rohingya in the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh. Responding to the deadly fire in a immigrant detention center in Juarez, Mexico, which killed 40 Central and South Americans, by supporting the accompaniment of survivors and family members and making recommendations for Mexican authorities to improve national migration policy. Supporting young women in rural Nicaragua to continue their studies, including by covering the costs of transport (many have to travel 2-3 hours each way to school), food, supplies, and other necessary items. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a: | Climate & Disaster Justice in the US, Pacific and Haiti Expenses $3,501,026 including grants of $899,341. Revenue: $8,399. UUSC's Climate Justice work focuses on advancing and protecting the rights of populations at risk of climate-forced displacement caused by slow-onset climate impacts. UUSC's program emboldens the principle of the right to self-determination by prioritizing building protections in place and when necessary and required by our partners, supporting communities to relocate with dignity. In addition to directly supporting communities at risk, UUSC has a multi-pronged strategy that targets a range of stakeholders to assist communities as they advance their right to self-determination and develop strategies to respond to the spectrum of risks associated with climate-forced displacement. In alignment with our principles, UUSC's strategy upholds the timeless adage that civil society organizations around the world share, Nothing about us, without us." This recognizes the grave injustices that frontline communities have experienced through legacies of imperialism, colonialism, exploitation of Indigenous bodies and lands, and the forcible displacement that many have faced in the name of western modernization. By centering the voices of communities and by upholding their right to self-determination, UUSC and our partners are actively seeking a pathway to corrective justice, one that is transformative, redemptive, respectful, and sustainable, and most importantly, one that reflects the multiple needs that communities require on the ground. As part of UUSC's response and long-term work to support the self-determination of Haitians in addressing the nation's multi-dimensional civil, economic, environmental, and political crisis, UUSC is a part of an advocacy coalition including Haitian leaders on-the-ground and in the U.S. diaspora to influence U.S. government policy in Haiti towards supporting the Montana Agreement. The Montana Agreement was developed by a Commission of Haiti's civil society organizations (CSOs) and political groups with the primary goal of resolving the current political impasse and creating stable conditions by which Haitians can reclaim their sovereignty. UUSC's grassroots partners in Haiti are focused on defending and protecting the rights of deportees, returnees and internally displaced populations, those whose lives have been uprooted due to ongoing climate and environmental devastations and state-sanctioned land grabs, which were created under Haiti's previous corrupt political leadership and which was supported by U.S. foreign policy. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b: | Migrant Justice Expenses $3,008,004 including grants of $772,795. Revenue: $7,213. UUSC's current migrant justice strategy is to support Central Americans at risk of forced displacement by increasing options for them to safely stay at home, protecting their rights on the migrant trail, and disrupting the system of imprisonment and deportation within the U.S. Violence, impunity, and corruption have forced thousands of Central Americans to flee their homes. All people have the rights to safety, human dignity, and a process to seek asylum. Yet, when they flee, people in migration face further dangers and abuses designed to deter them from their journey. Upon reaching the United States, they can be detained, prosecuted, or have their family members taken from them. After years spent building their lives in the United States, they may still be at risk of deportation. As with all our initiatives, we focus our grantmaking and partner support for grassroots organizations working for systemic change. We believe that connecting groups across the migration trail, from El Salvador to Mexico to the United States, will create a strong movement centered on the rights of people, not borders. The root causes of forced displacement are just as important to address as ensuring sanctuary and refuge from harm. UUSC focuses its efforts on supporting new systems of protection, particularly for women and Indigenous youth, and stopping U.S. military aid to security forces and U.S.-backed development projects, both of which escalate violence and create instability. In Nicaragua, for example, we support a grassroots women's organization, Fundacion entre Mujeres, that helps women develop alternative livelihoods and free them from abusive partners. In Guatemala, we support efforts to reintegrate Indigenous Maya youth who have been deported, through our partnership with Asociacion Pop Noj. In Honduras, we support Foro de Mujeres Por La Vida, a coalition of over 17 women's organizations, to reduce gender-based violence and document the impact of increased militarization on women's security. The dangers that women and human rights defenders face in Honduras are inseparable from the violation of ancestral and Indigenous land rights in many cases linked to U.S.-backed development projects. This violence forces more people to flee the country in search of safety, exacerbating instability throughout the region. UUSC also supports organizations along the migration trail from Central America to the United States to protect migrants from violence and extortion while in transit and help them to safely seek asylum in Mexico, if they choose to do so. Our partners advocate for transnational systems to ensure crimes against undocumented migrants can be reported and prosecuted, and help families locate their missing family members. They provide legal assistance to seek asylum in Mexico and help strengthen Mexico's overwhelmed asylum system. They also direct safe transit shelters where migrants can be informed of their rights and work to expose and address causes of migrant deaths in the desert. As the United States seeks to shift the burden to transit countries and deter asylum-seekers from finding safety within its borders, it is even more crucial that human rights defenders monitor asylum systems and immigration enforcement across borders. Finally, UUSC believes that people in migration in the United States should have the right to seek asylum, be free from arbitrary detention and deportation, and that families should stay together out of detention. We are supporting our partners in their work to document abuses in immigration detention centers and at the U.S.-Mexico border, to provide legal assistance to seek asylum, and to establish and maintain ways for immigrants in detention to receive legal support, connect with family, and advocate for themselves. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c: | International Justice & Accountability in Burma Expenses $3,012,067 including grants of $1,190,833. Revenue: $7,223. UUSC supports grassroots organizations in Burma that are either led by members of directly impacted communities or supporting their self-empowerment. Our partners document and publicize human rights abuses, advocate for equality for religious and ethnic minorities, campaign for justice and accountability, run civic empowerment and conflict resolution trainings, and build diverse coalitions across grassroots activists. In February 2021, following the 2020 national election, the Burmese military staged a violent coup against the country's elected civilian government. Since then, the Burmese military has arrested, detained, tortured, or killed thousands of peaceful demonstrators, members of civil society, and government officials who oppose their rule. UUSC and our partners on-the-ground in Burma and neighboring Thailand have worked tirelessly, liaising with human rights defenders to provide both emergency humanitarian relief and to support human rights defenders fleeing from the military coup. UUSC was able to support some of the activists we have relationships with to secure funding to leave the country and enter the United States through humanitarian parole visas. We have also increased our support and the scope of our partnerships to deliver critically needed cross-border humanitarian aid to ethnic minority organizations at the Thai-Burma border. International Justice & Accountability in Ukraine & Poland Working with partners on the ground in Ukraine and Poland, UUSC's response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine seeks to ensure that historically oppressed communities (namely Roma, women, LGBTQI+, BIPOC (African and Afro-descendant), and people with disabilities) impacted by the war, and who are left out of mainstream humanitarian relief efforts despite experiencing exacerbated forms of oppression during crisis, have access to the critical resources they need to survive, move, heal, and thrive. We aim to also support and strengthen the ongoing, systemic work of movements working with historically oppressed communities in their long-term fight for justice, and resource a regional response to the impacts of Russian imperialism on intersectional feminist movements in the CEECCNA region. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: | UU College of Social Justice The UU College of Social Justice (UUCSJ) is structured as a joint program of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC), jointly governed by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) and UUSC for the benefit of both organizations under the terms of a joint operating agreement. UUCSJ is a key strategy which allows both UUSC and the UUA to nimbly realize their independent and intertwined missions to advance the justice-centered values of Unitarian Universalism and human rights. The mission of the UU College of Social Justice is to inspire and sustain effective and spiritually grounded activism for justice. All CSJ programs and collaborations are designed to help people cross boundaries, gain insight, imagine new ways and learn new skills to make a difference in the world. CSJ's work is intimately and ultimately relational. From its very creation as a bridge between the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) and the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) to CSJ's work to help UUs bridge gaps between abstract ideas and embodied practice, the UU College of Social Justice continues to provide essential connective tissue supporting the spiritually grounded justice work of Unitarian Universalism. In FY23, the UU College of Social Justice was a leader in the use of experiential education pedagogy for social justice education to collaborate, co-create, and curate youth, young adult, and multigenerational learning opportunities. This is priority work for CSJ in the reshaping of experiential learning opportunities within the context of global pandemic, climate change, and geopolitical violence. As a CSJ partner named, "Everything is urgent and nothing can be done well urgently." CSJ continues to focus on being both catalyst and connector, teachers and designers of learning containers, accomplices and partners providing fortification for the long-haul work of shaping a more just and joyful world. We accomplish this through collaboration, co-creation, and curation of a variety of experiential learning programs, partnerships, workshops and resources designed for and with UUSC partners, UU congregations and UU-adjacent partners. UUCSJ supported the first in-person UU youth justice journey with catalyst partner organization BORDERLINKS and developed resources required for supporting youth groups through immersive learning journeys, as risk tolerance for travel begins to expand. UUCSJ's ability to transition to online workshops continues to enable us to reach a wide audience, including strengthening our relationships with UU State Action Networks (SANs)and the congregations and directly impacted communities they serve. Our workshops include: Being a Good Relative/Being a Good Neighbor, Arts and Activism, Faith in Action, Speaking Justice in our Language of Faith, and we have collaborated with UUSC to offer Ethical Storytelling webinars. UUCSJ also supports the Congregational Accompaniment Project for Asylum Seekers (CAPAS) and related accompaniment for trans and gender expansive communities members facing persecution. Over the past decade, CSJ has developed and nurtured a strong skill set in shaping risk management and protocols of collective care that can be responsive to emergent learning environments. As the world emerges from the quarantine phase of a global pandemic, climate chaos impacts daily life, and fascism shifts from theory to practice in more and more communities, this skill set has been in high demand by and shared freely with UU communities and engagement partners. The skills and practices for living faithfully and resiliently into the struggle for collective liberation through global solidarity are essential teachings for now and UUCSJ is here for the teaching and learning. |

| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b | The draft of the Form 990 is discussed and reviewed with the audit committee of the Board of Trustees for their comments, input and approval. All the members of the governing body receive either a hard copy or an electronic copy of the Form 990 before it is filed. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c | UUSC regularly and consistently monitors and enforces compliance with the conflict of interest policy which covers all staff and the board of trustees. In doing so, all decisions (financial or non-financial) are scrutinized to ensure that they are not self-serving with respect to UUSC personnel or members of the board of trustees. Human Resources decides if a conflict of interest exists for UUSC personnel and elevates the matter to the President/LEO or the Chair of the board of trustees as appropriate. The board completes a conflict of interest form annually which is then shared with the full board. Any conflicted individual is prohibited from voting or making any decisions related to the matter. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 | The compensation of the President/LEO is determined by the executive committee of the board of trustees, all of whom are independent of the President/LEO. The compensation is determined by reference to comparability data. The President/LEO's compensation is reviewed and potentially adjusted annually upon board approval. The organization maintains contemporaneous documentation of the deliberation and decision. Compensation for other officers is determined by the President/LEO. Such compensation is similarly determined by reference to comparability data. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 | UUSC makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements available to the public by publishing them on its website.
