Principles-Based Justice Work

The call to bold discipleship, deep spirituality, and daring justice means that the people of the United Church cannot remain silent in situations of injustice. Addressing injustice includes (though is not limited to) building:

  1. awareness and understanding of the injustices our neighbours experience
  2. analysis of the systems and forces that perpetuate injustice
  3. advocacy with those neighbours who are most vulnerable and marginalized
  4. action with those neighbours who invite/welcome our participation in their work

These principles are intentionally interdependent and are informed by the United Church’s policies, affirmations, and commitments.

Our Initiatives

Now is the time to implement a structure of justice making and justice keeping that no longer excuses, rationalizes, and tolerates poverty. We support Guaranteed Livable Income.

Pacific Mountain Region is committed to ongoing education, advocacy, activism and policy development related to ecological justice and the impacts of climate change.

We believe in radically inclusive love. We live this out by intentionally creating safer spaces of belonging with members of the 2SLGBTQAIP+ communities and their families.

Pacific Mountain Region is committed to providing leadership in education, advocacy and action to support efforts for peace and justice for Palestine and Israel.
