Legislative Agenda for 2015
TXUUJM Legislative Agenda for 2015
Here are the top 3 issues our 18 member congregations of TXUUJM voted to focus on in the 2015 Legislative session. The issues are:
1. Women’s Reproductive Justice
2. Affordable Care Act Implementation
3. Economic Justice/Income Inequality
TXUUJM’s approach is to invest the bulk of our energy in pursuing these three issues as our primary legislative agenda for 2015 which our member congregations voted to select. We will also use our influence/forums to support trusted congregations and individuals who want to expand beyond these three. And we will respond nimbly to issues that spring up during the legislative session which resonate deeply with our bedrock values as UU’s.
