Social Justice Ministry

of the First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City

The Social Justice Team of First Unitarian invites you to join our efforts in creating a better world.

This is a newly formed team so we are still working out our charter, but there is more to come.

We do have a Social Justice Circle that is open to members of the First Unitarian Church. If you would like to join click the button below.


Community Street Tai Chi

We are partnering with Understanding Us, a nonprofit run by First UU members Bernie and Marita Hart, that feeds and serves individuals experiencing homelessness. Tai Chi occurs at 9:45 am Mon, Wed, Thurs and Sat at the Salt Lake City Library Plaza. It is led by trained practitioners who have experienced homelessness. Before the Tai Chi practice, coffee and breakfast burritos are served. Anyone is welcome to attend. To learn more about Community Street Tai Chi, please visit: https://www.understandingusnonprofit.org/

Ways to get involved:
