Canadian Unitarians for Social Justice (CUSJ)
Canadian Unitarians for Social Justice (CUSJ) is a national faith-based organization that supports Unitarian values through action.  The CUSJ has identified five areas of focus for our social justice work: Indigenous peoples; environment; economic justice; democracy and human rights; and peace. In reality, these issues and their remedies are inextricably linked, reflecting our seventh principle, “the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.”   The problems in each of these priorities are not isolated, but cause issues and concerns in all the others.  CUSJ looks to systemic approaches to addressing these issues, guided by the core principles of Canadian Unitarians.
