Mission
The mission of the UUCF Animal Ministry is to promote multi-species justice, based on compassion, empathy, and a deep respect for the inherent worth, dignity, and equality of every sentient earthling. We work toward this goal by raising awareness about the mistreatment and exploitation of animals through activism that includes:
- Visiting farmed animal sanctuaries
- Vegan author talks
- Education via a year-long curriculum for all comers (see homepage announcement about the upcoming series of classes, "Change Begins with Me Series"
- Enhancing Religious Education via vegan curriculum
- Holding potlucks with programs that include speakers and discussion
- Occasional viewing of relevant videos or movies about animal rights
- Tabling at community events
