By Aisha K. Staggers Verified
| UU World Verified
In Unitarian Universalist congregations, values often transcend generational divides. Take, for instance, UUs’ commitment to social justice—a lifelong process of growth, reflection, and action. A 2024 United Way survey showed 51 percent of Gen Z respondents have participated in rallies or protests. UUs who want to see their faith lived out through action want a faith community that doesn’t just preach about justice, it actively equips them to live it.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Not so much a writing job, but writing regular op-eds, I realized, had become part of my jobs working in politics and public policy.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes, but not since the early 90s. I think now, it would drive me insane!

How is social media changing news?

It is more instantaneous. This is great because it is at your fingertips. It is also more prone to spreading incorrect news and rumors.
