Today’s Justice Saturday is about the work of the Racial Justice and Immigration (RJI) JAM Focus Group, specifically its work for immigrant justice. We invite you to learn more about RJI with a short video and information about how you can engage in this important work. The goal of RJI, like that of the congregation, as a whole, is to transform and heal ourselves and the world through reason and love. We hope that you will join us as we work for a better world.

Jan Phillips has been a member of First UU since 2005. She is the facilitator of First UU’s Racial Justice and Immigration JAM Focus Group and is the organizer of the All Soles Contra and Square Dance, a social outreach function of First UU. She is a retired teacher and former banker. Jan is a new member of First UU’s Board of Trustees.
