‘Occupy Wall Street’
UU CONGREGATIONS and leaders across Canada and the United States have become active in Occupy Wall Street and related protests over the past month.
 Rev. Peter Morales, President of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) in the US, issued a statement that reads, in part: “Unitarian Universalism embodies a long tradition of working for economic justice and workers’ rights … the Occupy protests are a first step on the road to repairing our country.”
In Canada, the protests moved into many major cities on October 15th, as this issue of eNews was completed, with many UUs attending and expressing support.
