Dear Friends, You wont nd us frequently quoting a notorious funder of right-wing causes, including the Tea Party movement, but Charles Koch has articulated succinctly how social change takes place: To bring about social change, he said, [requires] a strategy that is vertically and horizontally integrated, [spanning everything] from idea creation to policy development to education to grassroots organizations to lobbying to litigation to political action. And I would add corporate accountability, which of course Koch, who made his fortune in the oil business, conveniently omits. With the exception of partisan political action, that pretty well describes how UUSC works as well, albeit, unfortunately, on a smaller scale than most of Kochs enterprises. In these pages youll discover how we link with grassroots organizations we call them our eye-to-eye partners around the world; how we inuence policy from Washington, D.C., to Sacramento; how we educate our members and mobilize your energy; how we advance corporate responsibility, etc. We even co-led litigation this year to challenge government overreach when it comes to privacy rights. What characterizes UUSC especially, however, is that we do all this in relation to the most politically and socially marginalized populations in the world: children at risk in Haitian neighborhoods and camps, street vendors in Kenya, restaurant workers in the United States, and many more. And we do our work in innovative, entrepreneurial ways so that our successful projects, modest in size as some of them are, can become models for others to emulate. Were smart and nimble if we do say so ourselves! (Its not just we who rate our work highly, however: were proud to say that Charity Navigator has awarded us four stars the top level! on their charity evaluation metric.) This annual report highlights a few of our program successes in depth. There are many more too numerous to t in these pages. None of this would be possible without you. You are our secret ingredient, and we couldnt be more grateful. Enjoy the stories in this report and take well-deserved pride in knowing that you made them happen. Warm wishes, William F. Schulz President and CEO Charles Spence Chair of the Board of Trustees Fiscal Year 2013

UUSC is pleased to have earned a four-star rating from Charity Navigator, Americas largest independent charity evaluator. Receiving four out of a possible four stars indicates that UUSC adheres to sound fiscal management practices and a commitment to accountability and transparency, minimizing the chance of unethical activities. The rating reflects UUSCs consistent execution of its mission in a fiscally responsible way.

From Surviving to

Thriving in Haiti
Foundation; and another was funded by UUSC and the UU congregation in Devon, Penn. (find out more about the ecovillage model at uusc.org/ ecovillage). UUSC worked with the Trauma Resource Institute (TRI) to train 67 new Haitian community leaders in bodybased trauma resiliency techniques pioneered by TRI; there are more than 200 people trained, and they are now training others close to 10,000 already in these vital practices. After working with Beyond Borders to organize child protection committees in neighborhoods and camps, UUSC joined with them to use a participatory method to train more than 140 nongovernmental organizations on processes to safeguard children.

The consequences of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti may have fallen off the radar of mainstream media, but UUSC has made a long-term commitment to supporting a just recovery led by the Haitian people. UUSC works with grassroots organizations to find innovative ways to respond to livelihood challenges, child exploitation, genderbased violence, and trauma all gravely exacerbated by the earthquake and then replicate those models as widely as possible. This means working with people like Danielle Neus, spokesperson for the youthled Bright Educators of Delmas (known by its Haitian Creole acronym, GEAD). UUSC has been working with GEAD to introduce the model of personal home gardens grown in safe recycled tire planters pioneered by the rural Papaye Peasant Movement (MPP), another UUSC partner into disadvantaged Port-auPrince neighborhoods. The pilot project has already seen great success, with 48 families growing their own vegetables with enthusiasm,
3

enjoying ready access to healthy food, and spreading the word to their neighbors. Soon theyll be able to expand the project so that participants can grow food not only to feed themselves but also to sell at market. In a country where food security is hard to find, this model carries great significance. GEAD is just getting started. Neus shares the next part of their vision, which includes a tire-garden training center: The next step for GEAD is to have its own training center so that we can train young people not just train them so that they can go out and earn a living, but put the ideas deep inside of them so that they understand that they have their part to play and that its important. This is just one success that UUSCs partnerships in Haiti have achieved. A few more examples: Residents of the first rural eco-village that MPP built with UUSC celebrated their first full year in their new homes; four other villages have been funded by Presbyterian Hunger

So, while you might not see it on the evening news, the people that UUSC is working with in Haiti are doing more than surviving in the midst of hardship theyre thriving.

Influencing People to Choose

Compassionate Consumption
the plight of restaurant workers from behind the kitchen door into the light of public discourse is coming to fruition, as national awareness of the injustices that restaurant workers face grows. As Jayaraman outlines in Behind the Kitchen Door, restaurant workers are up against a lot: low wages, racial discrimination, gender inequality, sexual harassment, and lack of benefits like health insurance and paid sick days. Jayaraman introduced workers like Claudia, a server who had to flirt with cooks to get food, since she couldnt otherwise afford to eat on her meager pay. Restaurant workers deserve more than scraps, and UUSC has worked with supporters to share those stories, change the national conversation about these issues, and highlight the power that consumers have to create a sustainable restaurant industry. UUSC has been building a network of supporters and activists that are now taking on renewed advocacy to raise the state and federal minimum wages including the tipped minimum wage, which has been frozen at $2.13 an hour since 1991 in the coming year. UUSC supports individuals and congregations with resources, sample actions, and more in developing coalitions, forming study groups, planning actions, and spreading the word.

Together with partners and supporters over the past year, UUSC has been helping influence the national conversation about minimum wage and restaurant workers rights. Through the Choose Compassionate Consumption initiative, UUSC members and supporters have stepped up as UUSC supported the efforts of the Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, a national organization that works to improve wages and working conditions for restaurant workers. During a big push in February, UUSC supporters helped make Behind the Kitchen Door, a book by ROC-United codirector and cofounder Saru Jayaraman, a best seller. The ultimate goal of that push to bring

Gaining Ground for the

Human Right to Water

family living in Seville, Calif., of my father laboring in the fields during the day and coming home in the evenings to Global South infrastructure and contaminated tap water. This issue is personal for me, just as it is for all of the amazing community residents with whom I have had the privilege to partner. The law, in a state that has 12 percent of U.S. population, sets an important precedent and provides a model for other states and countries. Throughout the lead-up to this historic achievement, UUSC worked in coalition with CWC, the UU Legislative Ministry of California, and other partners in the Safe Water Alliance. Together, the coalition published an op-ed in the San Diego Union-Tribune that helped get the bill out of committee. Plus, UUSC and partners rounded up support in the form of more than 3,000 calls and 4,000 letters and postcards to the governor to get the bill passed. In addition to mobilizing members to take action, UUSC worked with CWC to ensure that community voices were heard during the struggle to pass the law. UUSC support made it possible for community partners and individuals who live with the reality of contaminated water every day to speak directly to legislators on the eve of critical votes. UUSC was a true partner, Herrera says. This past year also brought an important victory in Guatemala, where UUSC has been working with indigenous people to hold the Goldcorp company accountable for the water contamination its mining activities have caused. As a result of efforts by the Indigenous Peoples Association of the Americas of Sipakapa, UUSC, and other partners, Goldcorp entered into an agreement with the Guatemalan government and 18 indigenous communities: the mine company will pay for drinking water infrastructure to be built in the affected villages. And, with support from UUSC and volunteer expert Rob Robinson and his team, the Pastoral Commission for Peace and Ecology has continued to monitor water quality in the area.

In 2008, UUSC began working on the ground with partners in California to establish state-level legal recognition of the human right to water. The road to passing a new law was long and filled with challenges along the way including a gubernatorial veto in 2010 but September 2012 brought sweet victory: Governor Jerry Brown signed A.B. 685, the California Human Right to Water Act, into law. In addition to recognizing that safe and affordable water is a basic human right, the new landmark bill requires state agencies to consider that right as they develop policy likely to impact water service. This is good news for more than 11.5 million Californians most in rural, low-income communities of color who dont have access to safe and affordable water for drinking, cooking, and bathing. Maria Herrera, community advocacy director for the Community Water Center (CWC, a UUSC partner), recalls listening to the legislators debate: I thought of my own

Expanding Opportunities with the

training in New Orleans, where youth studied race and class after Hurricane Katrina. This year, UUCSJ created and filled nine terrific summer internships for college-age young adults in Cambridge, Roxbury, London, New Orleans, and Kenya. Interns were supported with small stipends and weekly reflection assignments to help them integrate their internship experience with vocational discernment and faith development. In addition to these expanded programs, UUCSJ has been cultivating opportunities for congregational servicelearning trips. As Rev. Kathleen McTigue, UUCSJs director, says, If a UUCSJ journey can transform an individual, imagine what it can do for a congregation! When a group from a single congregation travels together, they deepen bonds and create a stronger foundation for bringing new energy to their justice work at home. The process can invigorate the entire congregations engagement in work to advance human rights. To facilitate an experience that has a meaningful and lasting impact, UUCSJ has developed a new study guide for use in all of its service-learning programs. The study guide helps participants understand the powerful, firsthand experience of their journeys within the broader context of racial and economic justice and gives participants the tools they need to continue making change when they return home. Visit uucsj.org today and get ready to open your eyes and your heart to new dimensions of the human yearning for justice.

Plunge in and let yourself be transformed thats what the UU College of Social Justice (UUCSJ), a collaboration between UUSC and the Unitarian Universalist Association, has been inviting participants to do since its inception. And each year, more people are being transformed through UUCSJs growing portfolio of service-learning trips, youth programs, and other justice education opportunities. This past year, UUCSJ put particular emphasis on developing new programs specially tailored to youth and young adults. In 2012, UUCSJ launched the inaugural Youth Justice Training, an immersive social justice training for high school youth that offers hands-on education, service, and reflection. In the summer of 2013, UUCSJ held an expanded three-week Boston training, in partnership with the City School, and also piloted an exciting one-week

We support UUSC because of its commitment to be at the forefront of human rights and social justice issues around the globe. We like UUSCs longterm efforts in working with local partners to help communities, particularly after the big relief agencies leave. Christina Romero and Rama Kumanduri

UUSC lifts up people who have fallen through unseen cracks particularly women, children, and minorities. As a volunteer at UUSC, I have admired the skill and dedication of the entire staff. It brings joy to my heart to be able to lend time and money to such an outstanding organization. UUSC is the one charitable organization that every UU should support. Jim Landfried

The clarity of the UUSC vision and its grassroots partnership model compel our involvement. We gain a more meaningful and purpose-lled life, and UUSC also opens doors to rewarding new relationships. Charla and Scott Weiss

UUSC fullls its mission in three principal ways: through our partnerships with other human rights advocates around the world; through our pursuit of policy changes in the United States and internationally; and through mobilization of our members. Each of our four principal program areas environmental justice, economic justice, civil liberties, and rights in humanitarian crises employ all three strategies in an integrated fashion. The UU College of Social Justice, a collaboration of UUSC and the Unitarian Universalist Association, is focused on providing opportunities to make a direct difference in the world through service learning and justice education. UUSC makes grants to partners, but we are not fundamentally a grant-making organization; we are an activist organization, and grants are one element of our tactics. Our eye-to-eye partnerships entail far more than the transfer of money; they include training, educating, building local and national networks, and organizing for social change. UUSC and our partners are co-strategists in designing ways to build a better world.
