RJM was formed during the spring of 2019 following a 4-week interactive “Decentering Whiteness” learning circle facilitated by Rev. Sara LaWall and then Director of Family Emmie Schlobohm. Shortly after the conclusion of the learning circle, 4 participants met with the purpose of continuing to educate themselves and others about race and racism. Then in May of 2019, this group formed the Racial Justice Ministry with the mission to:

Raise awareness and understanding of and engagement with race and racism. This includes our individual and collective opportunities to achieve racial justice.

RJM is also guided by the UU 8th Principle, formally adopted by the Boise Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in November of 2019. The 8th Principle asks us to: Affirm and promote journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
