On Sunday, January 25, 2009, Unitarian Universalist Association President William G. Sinkford delivered a living wage sermon as part of the UUA Action of the Month on Living Wages (http://www.uua.org/socialjustice/actioncenter/122104.shtml ) and the national Let Justice Roll Living Wage Days
(http://www.letjusticeroll.org/livingwagedays.html) at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua New Hampshire.

Sinkford chose the Nashua congregation to recognize their work in helping to achieve the last federal minimum wage increase, raising New Hampshire's minimum wage above the federal level, and supporting low-wage workers and their families.

The Unitarian Universalist Association and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee (UUSC) are members of the interfaith Let Justice Roll Living Wage Campaign, (http://www.letjusticeroll.org/) a nonpartisan coalition of more than 90 faith, community, labor and business organizations. This campaign, launched the "$10 in 10" campaign to raise the federal minimum wage to $10 an hour in 2010.
