Dear Friends,

The metaphor around which this years annual report revolves is that o a tree as itgrows rom seedling to sapling to ruit-bearing to old-growth stage. Its a homely

image but one with rich spiritual overtones. In the midst o his lamentations, orexample, Job suddenly says, For there is hope in a tree . . . Though its roots grow oldin the earth and its stump is dying in the ground, i it scents water it may break into

bud and make new growth like a young plant.

We like the image o a tree as a metaphor or our work. For one thing, the deeper theroots o a tree, the taller it can grow and UUSC is indeed deeply rooted in its own

71-year-old history o rescue and sacrice, courage and conrontation. For another,the healthiest trees adapt to their surroundings, to new realities, and UUSC is everevolving to address the needs o a new age.

This year we have taken a host o steps to meet those needs. Following the guidance

laid out in the strategic plan that the UUSC Board o Trustees adopted in the summero 2010, we have launched the College o Social Justice. Through this new initiative,

we intend to see that every UUSC member who wants to do hands-on social-justicework has the opportunity to do so, every youth who wants to put her or his religiousvalues into action can nd a place to do that, and every congregation that wants

to be a more eective agent o change has the skills to be so. We have signicantlyexpanded online activism; we are working more closely than ever with the Unitarian

Universalist Association. And we are also doing rigorous impact assessments o our

programs to make sure your dollars are doing the most good they possibly can; wecontinually seek out the most eective and innovative ways to improve the state ohuman rights in a desperate world.

All o that and more are laid out in the pages that ollow. Youll nd stories o howUUSC, like Thoreau, has tramped thousands o miles around the world to keep our

appointments with those people, those partners those seeds, saplings, and ull-growth coniers, i you will who embody our values and make our dreams real.

But none o this would happen without those who supply the sunlight and the water.Ater all, as Job knew, a tree requires much more than good intentions to break into

bud. You are the ones who nurture this enterprise and make it ourish.

Without you, we would wither away. Thanks to you, UUSC stands tall, proud,resplendent. Deepest appreciation to you or being such good and gracious tenders

o our garden.

William F. Schulz

President and CEO

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep

an appointment with a beech tree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance

among the pines.

A tree needs sunlight, water, and nutrient-rich soil to grow. What do the seedso social justice need to take root? At UUSC, the ollowing are a ew o the key

ingredients or optimal growth:

Eye-to-eye partnerships

Grants to bolster the work o program partners

Advocacy on public policy or essential legislative change

Enthusiastic involvement o volunteers and activists

Financial support rom UUSC members and donors

Technical support or partners on proposing, implementing,

and evaluating programs

An approach that takes gender, race, and class into consideration

Throughout the pages o this report, youll see how these essential ingredients

have ostered justice throughout the world in our o UUSCs programs. Each

story represents a dierent stage o the growth process and you can see how

a small seed leads to the ull blossoming o human rights.

This year, UUSC embarked on the rst year o an exciting 20112015 strategic

plan. The plan lays out tactical decisions to strengthen relationships with UU

congregations, reach out to youth, develop the new College o Social Justice,

signicantly expand electronic communications capacity, measure success, and

plug into global networks o social change. Your support is critical to the nextstage o growth or UUSC and or human rights around the world.

A seed is planted

On January 14, 2010, two days aterthe earthquake rocked Port-au-Prince,

Haiti, Dunel Guerrier, his wie, andhis our children arrived in the ruralCentral Plateau. Ater their house in

the capital city collapsed severelyinjuring Guerrier they ed to Hinche,

about 80 miles away. There, in an areawhere thousands o displaced people

ocked, o the radar o mainstreamaid organizations, he ound the PapayePeasant Movement (MPP), a UUSC

grassroots partner and the beginningo a new lie.

Besides providing immediate ood

and shelter relie with UUSC support,MPP wanted to help displaced amiliesrebuild their lives. To that end, UUSC

using a portion o money rom theUUSC-UUA Haiti Earthquake Relie Fund

and a $500,000 matching grant rom theVeatch Program o the UU Congregration

at Shelter Rock in Manhasset, N.Y.

is partnering with MPP to build aneco-village that meets critical post-

earthquake needs. By December 2011,the village, tucked amongst hills o

mango trees on land donated by one oMPPs cooperatives, will be home to 10

amilies, who will each have a house and

land to arm.

The Guerrier amily will be one o therst amilies to move in to the newhouses, which are being built by

hand with green building techniquesand materials, including earth bricks

produced on site. According to MPPounder and leader Chavannes Jean-

Baptiste, residents o the eco-village,which will grow to incorporate 40amilies, will receive instruction rom

local MPP armers on sustainable,

organic agriculture methods.

In May, ater developing the project

with UUSC, MPP broke ground and agroup o 10 UU seminarians embarkedon a UUSC-UUA JustWorks service-

learning trip to work side-by-side insolidarity with MPP members building

the oundations o this new community.In addition to digging trenches,

hauling rocks, and pouring hand-mixed cement, participants learnedabout the ways that MPP is regaining

ood security, advocating or womensrights, promoting alternative energies,

and building people-centered ruralcommunities. Participants even tried

their hands at preparing tires or MPPsRoad to Lie gardens.

The Road to Lie Yard is an innovative

MPP project that turns used tires romPort-au-Prince into three-oot-wide

planters or growing ood. A ve-tiregarden can produce enough ood toeed a amily, and an additional ve

tires can generate over $200 a year atthe market. Hundreds o amilies in the

Central Plateau are now using them,creating greater ood sovereignty by

cultivating a ood supply that theycontrol themselves and conservingscarce water resources.

The key to the eco-village project, theRoad to Lie gardens, and so much oMPPs work is that it puts the power

squarely in the peoples hands. Andas Jean-Baptiste says, We would liketo use this as a model to create other

communities. Led by grassroots Haitianpeasant leaders like Jean-Baptiste and

supported by UUSC, Dunel Guerrierand people throughout the country are

rebuilding their lives ater disaster and building a just and sustainable Haitiwhile theyre at it.

A sapling grows

Every day in the United States, millions opeople on the margins dont have access

to clean and aordable drinking water.When United Nations Independent

Expert on the Human Right to Waterand Sanitation Catarina de Albuquerque

visited the United States in February andMarch 2011, she met with people rom

Washington, D.C., to Sacramento, Cali.,who oered startling insights into thesuering o their communities.

At the conclusion o her 11-day mission,

or which UUSC provided key logisticalsupport, she spoke to the public: The

country has to make greater eorts touse the available money to ocus onthose who are in greatest need and also

think about new solutions. . . . It has todo with policy making, with strategizing,

with having a holistic picture o thesector and having proper policies to

address the outstanding challenges,rather than merely a question o money.

As an integral player in the expertsvisit, UUSC was determined to move

conversation about the human rightto water orward right here in the

United States. De Albuquerques initial

recommendations that the United

States address discrimination in wateraccess in its own communities and

develop aordable and sustainablesolutions set important precedent

that will shape and uel work to makethe human right to water a reality.

UUSC was well positioned to assist

with de Albuquerques visit, whichset the stage or a revival o essentiallegislative work on the issue in Caliornia.

Several years ago in that state, UUSCbegan partnering with the Unitarian

Universalist Legislative Ministry oCaliornia (UULMCA) to turn the human

right to water into law. While eortswere dashed the rst time around,the movement did not give up. As de

Albuquerques visit wrapped up, UUSCspublic policy and mobilization team

geared up to support a package o sixbills on the human right to water that

was introduced in the state legislature.

Together with the UULMCA, UUSC

asked people across Caliornia to takeaction, and they responded with vigor.

Writing, calling, and e-mailing theirrepresentatives in support o the new

human-right-to-water bills, UUs andhuman-rights advocates spoke up

and continue to speak up, demanding

that water justice be served. UUSCs GotWater campaign has urnished activists

with a host o materials and resources tohelp educate and engage their riends,

amilies, congregations,and communities.

The collaborative eects succeeded in

passing our o the six human-right-to-water bills. The dedicated work o abroad coalition has signicantly grown

the movement or the human rightto water. And its a movement that

needs all the strength it can get. Whilebillions o dollars have been spent on

water projects in Caliornia, we havestill much work to do to make sure thateveryone has access to clean water to

drink, emphasized Rev. Lindi Ramsden,UULMCAs executive director. With your

help, UUSC is determined to make thathappen.

A tree bears fruit

In 2009, partnering with the Hands

Across the Mideast Support Alliance(HAMSA), UUSC began working withDalia Ziada, head o the HAMSA

Cairo ofce, to help sow the seedso nonviolent activism. Innovative

strategies emerged, rom distributingcomic books to training online activists

in real-world organizing. Two years later,as revolution began to sweep the MiddleEast in early 2011, UUSC continued

supporting the rights o the Egyptianpeople and the next steps in their quest

or political reedom.

When UUSC helped acilitate thecreation o an Arabic version oThe

Montgomery Story, a 1958 comic book

about the U.S. civil-rights movement, ithad no idea that one day copies would

be circulating in Cairos Tahrir Squareas nonviolent protesters brought down

the Mubarak regime. Ziada says, I amso proud to say that our little comic

book about Martin Luther King, Jr., andthe Montgomery story which wecooperated with UUSC a couple o years

ago to translate into Arabic, publish, anddistribute all over the Middle East has

been credited now or being the reason

or inspiring so many young peopleall over the region about adoptingnonviolent actions and techniques intheir work.

While the comic-book project was

under way, UUSC was also workingwith HAMSA to bring together youth

activists rom across the Middle East. Ina training in Morocco led by UUSC andpartners, young advocates o religious

and political reedom met to sharetheir expertise and learn new skills or

planning events, launching campaigns,and securing unding. The workshops

emphasized how to translate onlineactivism into on-the-ground organizingand leadership skills.

Such skills were ront and center in

February 2011 as nonviolent protesterstook to the streets o Egypt and reused

to back down rom their demands ortrue democracy and their ull measureo human rights. Following the ouster

o Hosni Mubarak, HAMSA movedquickly to transition rom active protest

to active civic education. Because mostEgyptians, particularly youth, do not

have experience participating in ree,

open democracy, widespread popular

education is needed to ensure that thetransition rom autocracy to democracyis successul.

UUSC is working with Ziada toengage young activists to educate

their community on voting rights,democracy, the Egyptian constitution,

and election monitoring. The membersare successully training thousands ocitizens, and the campaign called

Fahem Haqi (or I know my rights) was named the number-one civic-

education campaign in all o Egypt byEgyptian local television.

Building on the legacy o UnitarianUniversalists who were active in the U.S.

civil-rights movement, UUSC membersand supporters are providing essential

assistance to the young activists inEgypt. As Nasser Weddady, director o

outreach or HAMSA in the United Statestold UUSC, This is their own civil-rightsmovement. UUSC is proud to stand in

solidarity and will continue to explorenew ways to strengthen their eorts.

A canopy encourages

new growth

When small armers are paid a air

price or their products, they can aordto pay or the basic needs o their

amilies, invest in the well-being o theircommunities, and ensure the long-term

growth o their businesses. In the pastyear, hundreds o UU congregations

have shown their commitment to theseideals by purchasing a total o 39 tons oairly traded coee, tea, chocolate, and

other products rom Equal Exchangethrough the UUSC Coee Project. Thats

a lot o tasty treats but its so muchmore than that, too. The ripple eects o

this dedication are elt around the world,as Equal Exchange contributes a portiono the proceeds rom the Coee Project

back to the UUSC Small Farmer Fund,which builds long-term partnerships

with small armer and producer groupsworking on human rights and social

justice around the world.

In Bungoma, Kenya, a town just 20miles rom the border o Uganda, UUSCis partnering with Muungano (the

Kiswahili word or togetherness), anorganization that provides livelihoods

or youth while connecting them to

traditional agriculture. Young people inBungoma ace great challenges. Many

lose their parents to HIV/AIDS andbecome sole heads-o-household and its increasingly difcult or them

to nd sae work to provide or theiramilies. The towns proximity to the

border renders these young peoplevulnerable to prostitution, trafcking,

early marriage, risky orms o work, andother exploitation.

With the help o the UUSC Small Farmer

Fund, Muungano started a seed projectthat trains youth to run their owncatering businesses, which provide ood

or local events like weddings. They alsorent land to grow organic, traditionalcrops, which they use to prepare

nutritious and aordable meals orpeople with HIV/AIDS (supporting the

eectiveness o their medication), andeducate the community about the risks

o genetically modied oods.

This important project grew out o

the ruits o the UUSC Coee Project,which began in 2001 and has become

a solid long-term success thanks to thehundreds o congregations that take

part. More than 600 UU congregations

now participate in the UUSC Coee

Project. And UUs have the highestparticipation rate o any denomination

in Equal Exchanges Interaith Program.

The Coee Project has also led to

engagement in other air-tradeprograms like the Reverse Trick-or-

Treating campaign, which calls attentionto abusive child-labor conditions

among cocoa suppliers that sustain theglobal chocolate industry. The messageo these programs is that air trade

more equitably distributes wealth and

provides armers and workers with aliving wage. This is why supporting airtrade is central to UUSCs commitment to

strengthening workers rights as humanrights in todays global economy.
