“UU Class Conversations works to empower UU congregations and organizations by helping them explore all facets of social class at the personal, organizational and societal levels. Our shared goal is to address and end classism and build bridges across class differences. We believe that together we can create deep, sustained relationships that build Beloved Community and bring about a more equitable world.”

What’s Your Class Story?
Share your story! We want to hear from you about how you identify, whether your class identity has changed throughout your past experiences, and how. One of our Steering Committee members, Lily Cho, is open for a recorded Zoom conversation with any congregation members. Contact Lily this month at
info@uuclassconversations.org. These conversations will be edited for content and shared to give viewers a better understanding of social class and classism through a UU justice lens. They will be available on this Class Conversations website − much like the
written stories currently on the site.

Class in the Age of Billionaires (Trillionaires?)
UUs from across the country took part in UUCC’s GA workshop Social Class in the Age of Billionaires, exploring the role extreme wealth plays in shaping our democracy, our communities and our daily lives. We looked at the role federal policy plays in widening or reducing economic inequality. And discussed what our Unitarian Universalist values ask of us in this moment.

Learned So Much at the Mutual Aid Virtual Meetup!
Nearly 40 UUs attending UUA General Assembly 2026 signed up to discuss the role of mutual aid in supporting and building community, especially creating safe space for working class and other economically vulnerable UUs in these current economically challenging times. Meetup attendees talked about what they are doing to provide mutual aid through their UU congregation or organization – or with local groups. Others attending discussed the type of support that would enable them to begin this work. We are planning a follow up meeting in July. Contact Denise at info@uuclassconversations.org (subject line: Mutual Aid) to let us know if you would like to attend the July meeting. Check this space after July 15, 2026, for the time and date.
