Immigration has been an area of concern for our members for many years. One of our Meetinghouse presentations,by Dr.Alexandra Pinieros-Shields and Dr.Avi Chomsky focused on the history of immigration to this country over time.

Informed by the Essex County Community Organization and UU Mass Action we engage in legislative advocacy for current undocumented immigrants at the MA statehouse.
