After working with UU congregations on racial and social justice issues for over 15 years, Paula Cole Jones realized that a person can believe they are being a “good UU” without ever thinking about or dealing with racism and other systems of oppressions. This gave birth to the current effort to adopt an 8th Principle.

Paula Cole Jones is the founder of ADORE (A Dialogue on Race & Ethnicity), a former president of DRUUMM (Diverse and Revolutionary Unitarian Universalist Multicultural Ministries) and an independent consultant specializing in multicultural competencies and institutional change. She lives in Washington, D.C. She served as a Interim Congregational Life Consultant for the Central East Region from 2018-2020.
