Economic Justice: See Schedule O. 751509 16100 151838 UU College of Social JusticeThe mission of the UUCSJ is to inspire and sustain faith-based justice action on issues of local, national and global importance, through a variety of experiential learning programs. In fiscal year 2015 our programs included service learning journeys to the Arizona/Mexico border with BorderLinks, Haiti with the Papaye Peasant Movement (MPP), Alabama/Mississippi on a Civil Rights Pilgrimage, India with the Holdeen India Program, Bellingham, WA with the Lummi Nation, and Brooklyn for Hurricane Sandy Recovery. All of these programs were supported by the UUCSJ Study Guide for Cross-Cultural Engagement, an on-line resource we designed and created in 2014. They were led by a cadre of 23 program leaders we support with a training and retreat each fall, of whom nearly half are UU ministers or religious educators. In FY2015 we ran a total of 13 journeys, with 163 participants.In addition to our service learning programs, we provided justice education trainings for high school youth, called Activate! In fiscal 2015, we ran a two-week training in Boston, and a one-week training in New Orleans, with a total of 28 youth; we also held a one-day introduction training in Providence, RI prior to General Assembly, which over 50 youth attended.Our internships for college age young adults also expanded this year. We placed a total of 15 interns with justice organizations in the US, Ghana and England; through the generosity of our donors we were able to support our interns with small stipends. We deepended their experience through a series of weekly vocational and spiritual reflections and supported them with chaplains drawn from our Program Leaders.Finally, in June 2015 we piloted a program to place skilled volunteers with a partner organization. UUSC partner RAICES, located in San Antonio, TX, asked us to recruit volunteers with legal training and/or fluency in Spanish. We were able to place 20 volunteers in two cadres, supporting them with staff time at the start of each cadre and with study materials before their arrival; volunteers worked with RAICES for between one and eight weeks.UUCSJ is structured as a program unit of the UUSC, jointly governed by the UUA and UUSC for the benefit of both organizations under the terms of a joint operating agreement. 751509 16100 151838 7210426 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 8 0 1 43 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL IN KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN NH NJ NM NY NC OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI AL AZ AK AR ND X X Carol Cahalane 6173014331 UUSC 689 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge MA 02139 Lucia Santini Field Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 John Buehrens Vice-Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Martha Easter-Wells Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Todd Hess Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ebe Emmons Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Danah Fisher Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Kell Hartman Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Flynn Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Hope Johnson Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Roy King Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ramanujachary Kumanduri Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Conrad Pinnock Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Zaynab Nawaz Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Schneider Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Schulz President & CEO 30.00 X 193036 0 36297 Constance Kane VP & COO 35.00 X 142982 0 31924 Michael Zouzoua until 12015 CFO 35.00 X 122403 0 37238 Carol Cahalane Interim CFO 35.00 X 91365 0 8223 Sushma Raman VP & Chief Program Officer 35.00 X 147084 0 38236 Maxine Neil Director of Institutional Adv. 35.00 X 118905 0 27539 Quang Nguyen Director of Human Resources 35.00 X 110477 0 18451 Paul Twitchell Jr Director of Communications 35.00 X 122850 0 18460 Kathleen McTigue Director of UUCSJ 35.00 X 122692 0 36040 Cassandra Ryan Ass.

If a tax position or positions are deemed to result in uncertainties of those positions, the unrecognized tax benefit is estimated based on a "cumulative probability assessment" that aggregates the estimated tax liability for all uncertain tax positions. UUSC has identified its tax status as a tax exempt entity and its determination of which income is related and unrelated as its only significant tax positions and has determined that such tax positions do not result in uncertainty requiring recognition. UUSC is not currently under examination by any taxing jurisdiction. UUSC's Federal and state income tax returns are generally open for examination for three years after the date of filing, including extensions.

Form 990, Part I, Line 1 UUSC advances human rights and social justice around the world, partnering with those who confront unjust power structures and mobilizing to challenge oppressive policies. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a: Rights at Risk In FY15, UUSC launched the newly envisioned Rights at Risk program with a mandate to respond creatively and strategically to emerging humanitarian disasters around the world, to address entrenched and systemic rights abuses, and to work in situations of armed conflict, genocide, and forced migration where human rights are most in danger - seeking in all cases to assist those populations most at risk of being excluded from other humanitarian responses. The Rights at Risk program has sought to enhance UUSC's cooperation with some of its long-standing partners while also incorporating new focus areas and commitments to respond to urgent crises as they unfold. Rights at Risk undertook two new major natural disaster relief efforts this year in Asia and the Pacific. This past March, UUSC developed a new partnership in Vanuatu to respond to the devastating effects of Cyclone Pam that affected 90% of the population. UUSC partnered with the Vanuatu Society for People with a Disability (VSPD), which has provided assessment and services to 400 people with disabilities and remained a powerful voice for disabled citizens to help ensure their equitable access to relief materials. In Nepal, UUSC supported community-led relief efforts after two massive earthquakes devastated the country in April and May. UUSC responded quickly, forging new partnerships with a women's community fund, TEWA, which mobilized volunteers to assist affected communities and reached 15 districts, 112 communities and 23,271 households through its earthquake relief efforts. UUSC also partnered with a local teacher's association, Chetana, which enabled over 2,300 students to return to school after the disaster by setting up temporary classrooms in districts with large populations of historically marginalized minorities. UUSC's Rights at Risk program has developed a new strategic plan for Burma which includes continued support for democracy, free elections, ethnic and religious minority rights, and women's empowerment in this country faced with government and corporate cronyism and land grabbing. UUSC provided emergency assistance in May to our partner assisting Rohingya refugees arriving by boat in Thailand. In Burundi, UUSC supported a local foundation and community shelter that provided support to women and children during the violence that erupted before the June elections. At the United States' borders, UUSC became a leading voice this past year among the advocacy groups working to end family detention, sponsoring in the process congressional briefings, lobbying efforts, and constituent advocacy to end this harmful practice. Working in tandem with UUSC's Justice Building initiative and the UU College of Social Justice, we organized 17 volunteers who spent up to 1,880 hours assisting asylum-seeking families with our partner in South Texas, the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES). UUSC also mobilized over 5,433 constituents in February of 2015 to take a stand to end family detention and another 2,243 in June with a follow-up petition aimed at the Obama administration and Department of Homeland Security. UUSC and coalition members recently celebrated a district court decision denouncing family detention and providing strict orders for ceasing the prolonged detention of children and their mothers. UUSC's Haitian grassroots partners had an impactful year working in the areas of nutritional security, building trauma resiliency, protecting the rights of women & children, improving food security, supporting economic empowerment and enabling human rights awareness. Our partner, GEAD (Bright Educators of Delmas), trained 600 families on urban agriculture at their newly established center in Haiti's capital, Port au Prince. In 4 poverty-stricken neighborhoods of Port Au Prince, 120 youth developed professional proficiency in vocational skills and gained competency in social, health and human rights through a capacity building program conducted by an anti-slavery organization, Zanmi Timoun. Mouvman Peyizan Papay, which works primarily in agricultural production and environmental protection, trained 60 families (350+ individuals) who fled from Port-au-Prince after the 2010 earthquake. The project increased their skills in agricultural production using agro-ecology methods to produce clean food in sufficient quantities to feed their families and sell the surplus in the local markets to provide income.
