This year, at "Justice GA", we will combine social justice and compassion around the issues of immigration rights. UUCB has nine delegate slots. Not everyone wants to be a delegate; that role of carries the responsibility to attend the plenary sessions, study the issues and learn about the candidates to be elected. Although we'd like to have all of our delegates in Phoenix--at the convention hall and on the streets or wherever we public witness-- we may have off-site voting delegates, who can be connected by Internet and telephone to the convention hall.
