UUAM (formerly known as UFETA, which remains the official name for business purposes) often runs ads in UU World, and we hope to run more ads, ads with varied messages that will challenge all Unitarian Universalists to rethink how animals are treated in our society (click here for samples.). Your donation will be used for this purpose only.

"We acknowledge and affirm the kinship and interdepend­ence of all beings, and adopt an ethic of inter­spe­cies com­passion as an integral com­po­nent of liberal religion."

Unitarian Universalist Animal Ministry
Who are we? UUAM is a group of concerned Unitarian Universalists and UU friends who desire to grow and express their faith as compassion towards all beings. We do this by asking these fundamental religious questions: What does it mean to be human in mixed species communities? What is our response to this understanding?

To answer these questions we draw on our UU principles and sources, traditions, and congregational life to deepen our awareness of the interdependence of life. We then support one another in not just learning how caring for all beings is a moral and religious issue, but also engaging in concrete actions that bring about change on the individual, family, congregational, community, and societal level.

We do this not just for nonhumans, but for ourselves and all of life. For as we live a life of awareness based on our interdependence (UU 7th Principle) and the inherent worth and dignity of all beings (UU 1st Principle) we live fully, deeply, and authentically. As we come to love our neighbors as ourselves, we liberate not just others, but ourselves as well. More...

40/40 Campaign

There is now a chance to share the celebration of Earth Day by taking part in the 40/40/42 campaign. People across the continent are expanding the 42nd Earth Day (Sunday, April 22, 2012) to last 40 days, to May 31. How? By committing to small and large daily actions over the 40 days, for environmental justice, food justice, and immigration justice. People are taking small lifestyle changes for 40-day "test drives" knowing that our personal choices affect many aspects of global justice.

You Should Know...
There is a new website dedicated to ethical eating. It is place to learn best practices for food justice, connect with or recruit individuals or groups doing the work, and pick up skills and resources for action and inspiration, or contribute resources of your own. This web community will supply you with the information, skills, and partners you need to pursue your passion for food justice.

Quote of the Day
"In nothing does man, with his grand notions of heaven and charity, show forth his innate, wild animalism more clearly than in his treatment of his brother beasts. From the shepherd with his lambs to the red-handed hunter, it is the same: no recognition of rights - only murder in one form or another." - John Muir
