Unitarian Universalism has long been committed to the values of justice, equity, and compassion. We pride ourselves on being a faith tradition that embraces diversity and welcomes all people, regardless of their background or identity. Yet, when it comes to classism, we sometimes fall short of living up to these principles.

How does classism intersect with other marginalizations? And how do we, as Unitarian Universalists, address it?
