UU College of Social Justice Receives Major Support

At the 2012 Justice General Assembly, the UU College of Social Justice (UUCSJ), a new UUSC-UUA joint venture, was officially introduced to thousands of people. Shortly thereafter, Brad and Julie Bradburd of Gwynedd, Penn., announced their gift of $1 million to UUSC in support of UUCSJ. Their incredibly generous contribution reflects their confidence in and enthusiasm for this new initiative that will increase the capacity of Unitarian Universalists to catalyze justice.
