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.
