Action Alerts: Help Us Make Meaningful Change
Tell Congress to Protect the Right to Vote
The United Church of Christ believes that every person possesses God-given dignity and every eligible citizen deserves free and fair access to the ballot. The SAVE Act would suppress votes from married people whose names have changed, older adults, low-income and rural voters, people with disabilities, naturalized and tribal citizens, students, and unhoused people. Ask your members of Congress to vote no on the SAVE Act.
Tell Congress to Commit to Just Peace
The United Church of Christ has been dedicated to the work of just peace for decades. Earlier this year, the House passed a version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would cumulatively give the Pentagon a record $1.5 trillion budget. The Senate blocked it, but there’s every reason to expect another attempt. Ask your members of Congress to vote no on the current NDAA.
Tell Congress to Pass the Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act
The United Church of Christ affirms that young people deserve accurate, comprehensive, shame-free sex education, NOT classroom censorship. That is why we’re calling on Congress to pass the Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act of 2025, which would empower young people to make informed decisions about their bodies and health.
Racial Justice Ministries
The United Church of Christ invites you to participate in Racial Justice Ministries antibias and antiracism initiatives and restorative racial justice practices. Together, we can advocate for all people to live without acts of violence or structures and systems that harm God’s human creation.


Environmental Justice
From the birth of the environmental justice movement in the 1980s to the local ministries of churches throughout the country today, the United Church of Christ has been making a profound difference in caring for God’s creation. Learn more about our history, program, and resources.
