Escalating Inequality:  Here and Beyond

Rev Jonalu Johnstone reflects.  The expression “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer” has never been more true than in recent decades in the US.  The UUA 2014-2018 Congregational Study Action Issue focuses on the growing inequality of wealth and income in the US.  A moral economic system would do more to eradicate inequality based on race and gender, increase access to goods and services, especially necessities like housing and health care, and so much more.  The GA approved this Statement of Conscience, and there is now a year for implementation in our congregations.  How might we address these issues in our community?
