Unitarian Universalist Service Committee

In the fall of 2018, as large groups of asylum-seekers began making their way from Central America to the U.S., the U.S. government sent more than 5,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border. UUSC helped create an alternative response of compassion, solidarity, and support for migrant rights.

UUSC’s immediate response through the College of Social Justice was to coordinate the recruitment and placement of volunteers with organizations on the ground in Mexico and the U.S. whose shelters were being overwhelmed by asylum-seekers.
