Committees and teams are where much of the work of All Souls gets done, and there are lots of ways to get involved at All Souls. If you're interested in our beautiful old building, you could join the Building & Grounds committee. If you like to cook, consider helping prepare and serve at The Stone Soup Café. If you have financial expertise, a green thumb, or a desire to work for justice, there’s a committee for you!

Social justice is one of the cornerstones of All Souls. Our Social Justice Committee invites outside speakers to offer sermons on social justice topics several Sundays each year. Often we hold workshops related to the sermon topic.
-
The Social Justice Committee meets at 12 noon every second Sunday of the month. The Committee has a long history at All Souls UU Church of Greenfield. All are welcome to attend our meeting.

As we UUs work towards tolerance, climate justice, and food insecurity, our belief in the inherent worth and dignity of all beings inspires us.
Molly Chambers and the Social Justice Committee began organizing the annual Anti-racism Film Festival in 2003. We screen current films that address an aspect of racism, followed by a facilitated discussion. This free accessible event usually attracts over 50 people.
Pam Kelly, an All Souls champion, has worked statewide organizing UU congregations for over 25 years, with a focus on economic justice and climate change. Former CEO of national UUs for a Just Economic Community, Pam focused on state public policy and recently Massachusetts climate change solutions, such as the use of statewide Green Banks; making residential net-zero housing affordable (like her own!); and state legislation to enable commercial PACE to finance green apartment rehabs. On the Board of Nolumbeka Project she helped develop pollinator protection programs for Franklin County schools and is deeply engaged in essential advocacy for effective sequestration of carbon by trees and plants.
Another All Souls activist, Bill Ashley, has supported the placement of solar panels on newly built Habitat for Humanity homes in Franklin and Hampshire Counties. Another ambitious project was to offer to sponsor solar panels in certain municipalities in our county. Bill hopes that other donors will follow suit to lessen the use of fossil fuels by sponsoring solar arrays for low-income towns. He drives an all-electric Chevy Bolt and is working with the Social Justice Committee to set up a local Electric Vehicle event.
The All Souls Social Justice Committee honored Molly Chambers, Pam Kelly and Bill Ashley with awards for their longstanding collaborative efforts in our community on November 5, 2023.
