Concerned about the future of New Jersey and the planet, members of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) community are actively participating in the revision of the state’s crucial Energy Master Plan (EMP). This comprehensive plan, mandated by a 1977 law and regularly updated, aims to guide New Jersey towards its ambitious energy and climate goals.. Its overall intent is to meet the 80% carbon reduction goals of the Global Warming Response Act (adopted in 2007), as well as the governor’s goal to have a 100% clean energy economy in NJ by 2050.

The 2025 Community and Corrections Working Summit was held on January 7 and 8 at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. The weather was bitter cold and windy, which made navigating the various halls, breakout rooms, and the lunch hall a bit of a challenge.

Now, more than ever, we as Unitarian Universalists living in New Jersey, are called to lean deeply into our core values. We are guided by our shared commitments to justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence, and generosity – all of it centered in love.

Join us for the 2025 Working Summit — a powerful gathering of state leadership, returning citizens, advocates, families, and incarcerated voices from across New Jersey. Together, we’ll address the pressing issues that continue to affect African American and Latino communities in our state’s criminal justice system.

We are seeking our next Administrator, to join our collaborative staff team and join our mission to build a more just, compassionate society in New Jersey. Please help us to share this opportunity widely with your networks!
