UUA and UCC Lobby on the REAL Act
The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), the United Church of Christ (UUC), and Advocates for Youth lobbied together for the Responsible Education About Life (REAL) Act, on March 26, 2007. The REAL Act would provide federal funding for comprehensive sexuality education. The REAL Act is a much-needed alternative to the misleading and inadequate abstinence-only programs currently supported by the federal government.
The Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ have a history of working together to promote comprehensive sexuality education. The two denominations co-created the Our Whole Lives curriculum, a comprehensive sexuality course for use in congregations.
