Mission Statement

draft (to be voted on during GA 2003)

The A/PI Caucus of DRUUMM endeavors to build a safe and sacred community among UU members who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander, Hapas or Asian Adoptees.

To this end, we pledge to:

• minister to one another's needs
• support one another in our spiritual journeys as A/PI UUs in our UU faith communities
• strengthen the caucus's roles and linkages within UU Congregations to effectively advocate for our needs within the UUA
• help improve and enhance existing anti-racism work of the UUA by sharing with others our A/PI perspective and experiences
• work in synergy with DRUUMM and other identity-based caucuses to collectively identify and transform the structures of oppression towards an equitable, inclusive and just community
• provide authentic cultural resources for the UUA
