This document is a response from the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) to a letter from the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary. The UUA addresses several points, including its religious heritage, its investment practices through the Unitarian Universalist Common Endowment Fund (UUCEF), and its involvement in Climate Action 100+. The UUA emphasizes that its investment strategies align with its religious beliefs and the First Amendment’s protections of free speech and religious exercise. The response also asserts the UUA’s autonomy in its investments, even as a participant in Climate Action 100+, and underscores its commitment to value-based, socially responsible investing.
