My name is Christopher D. Sims. I am a Unitarian Universalist community minister, artist, and community organizer. This collective idea is meant to combine our efforts across Unitarian Universalism as we tackle issues in regards to the movement for black lives, social justice, and racial justice. I am working with Unitarian Universalist committees and groups who are focusing on the serious work we are doing to help us obtain, or get closer to, the Beloved Community. In having these proximate relationships and connections with these groups, Creating a Racial and Social Justice Collective will be a vehicle and a database for successes of these groups that will help empower the overall work we are doing in our faith movement across the United States, and beyond. To give voice to these successes and efforts, the Collective will have an online presence. Physically, I will represent these voices at conferences or appearances in our faith movement to inform and encourage Unitarian Universalists to pursue or strengthen their social justice efforts.
The funds raised for this campaign will go towards maintaining an online database, staff, travel expenses, and materials needed to create books and pamphlets for the documentation of this project.

Project FAQ
This project is happening in Unitarian Universalist places of worship all over the country. It began this way and it will continue this way. It is claimed by Unitarian Universalism's pursuit to create the Beloved Community, in Black Liberation Theology, and it is claimed by the many presentations, workshops, and conferences I have attended in doing racial and social justice work, as well as a Unitarian Universalist who shows up in places where the Black Lives Matter movement is addressing issues of hate, racism, bigotry, and police brutality. As a member of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of the Rock Valley, my teachings about human rights and the Black Lives Matter movement are welcomed and accepted as the congregation seeks to become more active and committed to racial and social justice work.
