OUR VISION The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee envisions a world free from oppression and injustice, where all can realize their full human rights. OUR MISSION The Unitarian Universalist Service Committee advances human rights and social justice around the world, partnering with those who confront unjust power structures and mobilizing to challenge oppressive policies. Dear Members and Supporters,

The great American labor and political leader Eugene Debs once said, “I would not lead you into this promised land . . . because if I could lead you in, someone else would lead you out.”

Like Debs, UUSC is committed not to leading people to the promised land but to walking hand in hand with all those for whom that land is at the moment but a dream. One of our jobs is to make sure that UUSC members have opportunities to join that great journey.

This year’s annual report describes four instances in which we did just that, in Haiti, Ecuador, Kenya, and the United States. The four projects you’ll read about — providing earthquake relief, defending the human right to water, supporting workers, and building religious understanding — are representative of the ways that UUSC works to advance human rights and social justice around the globe.

Rev. John Gibbons But 2010 was not just about our current work. We also charted new territory by developing a strategic plan for 2011–15.

We know — we’ve all heard about strategic plans that were little more than words on paper. This one is different. This one is both substantive and exciting: a new youth program to seed a new generation of activist leaders; a far more robust online presence; a new College of Social Justice that will offer myriad hands-on action opportunities for our members; and a deeper partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Here’s the bottom line: all of us are busy people. We have many organizations from which we can choose our support. The reason the two of us give our time and support to UUSC is because we believe it truly makes a profound difference in the world. And the stories that are told here, the lives that have been touched, the justice that has been realized prove that — none of it could have happened without you.

UUSC leads no caravans to the promised land — but we certainly are a lot closer to a vision of justice today thanks to you having joined us on this journey. Thank you. Rev. Dr. William F. Schulz

17 ““UUSC is a unique funder. We greatly appreciate— the way that UUSC currently works with us we truly feel that you are working WITH us and not just funding our work or waiting to get the final-results report.” —STITCH, UUSC partner in Guatemala that supports women workers and union organizers in Central America

“One of the key differences between UUSC and other donors and partners is the collaboration and continued discussions and feedback on the project during various stages of planning and implementation.” —Asuda, UUSC partner in Iraq that works to end violence against women

18 Annual Report 2010 Unsurpassed Generosity

As UUSC’s single largest contributor, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock (UUCSR), in Manhasset, N.Y., is a vital partner in making our daily work possible. For more than three decades, UUSC has been the fortunate recipient of UUSCR’s generous support of human-rights and social-justice initiatives.

The numbers are humbling: an annual unrestricted $750,000 contribution; a total of more than $21 million dollars over 30 years; support for hundreds of UUSC programs in more than 20 countries. And this year, UUCSR came forward with an additional $500,000 matching challenge grant to support the UUSC-UUA Joint Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund.

All of these numbers take on greater significance when we consider who is behind them — a group of people truly dedicated to acting on their values. The magnitude of their generosity is clear when we reflect on the results: disaster relief that serves marginalized populations, outreach and education on the human right to water, the cultivation of religious understanding, and more. Time and again, the UU Congregation at Shelter Rock has joined hands with UUSC to advance human rights around the world — and for that we are enormously grateful.

20 “My career has provided me with the opportunity to work with human-rights and women’s-rights groups in the United States and around the world. I support UUSC because I like its unique, effective approach to partnership with community-based organizations and the ways it works to change the underlying problematic policies, whether local, national, or global. The staff — has selected focus issues strategically, so I know that my donation and my activism when I have time to participate — are aimed directly at transforming the status quo. I am proud to partner with UUSC and with people working for justice throughout the world, from those who lack affordable water in Bolivia or Boston to those who are still living in tents in Port-au-Prince.” —Kathy Hall, Vice Chair of UUSC’s Board of Trustees
