The Gillespie-Senter Memorial Community Breakfast has been a project of

the First Unitarian Universalist Church Social Justice Team since May 1983

The Jesuit Social Research Institute at Loyola University (JSRI) just published a social indicators report comparing the 50 states on measures of racial, economic, and immigrant justice. Guess which state came in last? (Hint: you're living in that state now).
