Social Justice Statements
“We of Church Women United-Wisconsin wish to advocate for the humane treatment of children and families and others at the U.S.- Mexico border.
We support all people fleeing from violence and injustice, and we remember that our Lady Liberty welcomes all who come here in peace.”
**************
Church Women United is a racially, culturally, and theologically inclusive Christian women’s movement celebrating unity in diversity and working for a world of peace and justice.
Therefore; Church Women United in Wisconsin supports the Black Lives Matter goals to end police brutality and systemic racism in our country. We base our support on the preamble of our Constitution, which lists justice as one of its five goals, and on the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes the rights of all people to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We call on our government, our businesses, our educational systems, our law enforcement, and most of all, our individual selves, to step up to meet the challenge to insure fair treatment for all, regardless of race, ethnicity, faith, lifestyle, immigration status or economic means. It is our right and our duty to protest whenever we see any word or deed that interferes with justice and fairness.
