The Social Justice Ministry at Namaqua Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a vibrant, engaged group of people committed to “walking our talk.” We create meaningful opportunities for members and friends to make a real impact—locally and beyond. We celebrate diversity, strive for peace and justice, care deeply for the planet, and nurture spiritual growth through a free and loving search for truth and meaning.

Our Ongoing Social Justice Initiatives Include:

• Safelots Outreach – Bringing meals and offering companionship to neighbors living in their cars.
• Serving at the Loveland Community Kitchen – Providing hot meals to those in need.
• Participating in Community Celebrations – Marching and gathering for events such as Loveland Pride, Transgender Day of Remembrance, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and Juneteenth.
• Partnering with Like-Minded Organizations – Collaborating with Together Colorado, League of Women Voters, UU the Vote, and others to amplify our impact.
• Environmental & Climate Justice – A dedicated team working actively on climate initiatives and environmental justice in our region.
• Holiday Giving Tree – Collecting and donating warm socks, gloves, and other essentials to local organizations during the winter season.
• Defending Democracy – Engaging in advocacy through phone calls, letter-writing, donations, peaceful protest, and mutual support to protect democratic rights for all.
• Support for Indigenous Communities – Working with partners on the Pine Ridge Reservation to provide food, clothing, and services, while offering educational workshops on Native American history and issues.
• Shared-Plate Ministry – Each week, half of our offering goes to local non-profits working for social change. Past recipients include Loveland Youth Gardeners, Planned Parenthood of the Rockies, Alternatives to Violence, KidsPak, Habitat for Humanity, and many more.
• Dances of Universal Peace – On the first Saturday of each month, we gather to sing sacred songs and dance together in a spirit of unity and peace.

We are a community grounded in love, peace, and justice—and all are welcome.

Join us! Our Social Justice Ministry meets every 4th Wednesday from 6–8 p.m. in Parker Hall, located in the building just north of the sanctuary.
