Antiracism Action Team (AAT)
Mission (2020 to Current):
Our mission is to build an antiracist community. We confront racial inequities, endorse equality, reform our own racist attitudes and practices, and dismantle the roots of racism in the power and policies of our institutions.
Goals:
- Create opportunities for members and friends of QUUF to learn about and engage in antiracism work.
- Examine QUUF and Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) policies and procedures through an antiracist lens in order to contribute to an antiracist society.
- Learn ways of engaging in being allies/accomplices/co-conspirators with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) throughout our society.
- Develop an understanding of white supremacy culture within each of us as individuals and within the QUUF community.
- Welcome diversity through individual awareness as well as QUUF policies and procedures.
- Track local, state, and national legislation and advocacy around issues of racism.

Immigration Solidarity
“From the underground railroad to this very day, we have welcomed the stranger, sheltered the refugee, offered safe home, resisted racism, fear and exclusion. We will open our hearts, we will open our doors, to those who face the threat of deportation. All are welcome, period.” Rev Victoria Safford, UU minister
