Tennessee Unitarian Universalist Community Action Network
Working Together for Justice Across Tennessee
We are a statewide community of Unitarian Universalists living and amplifying our shared values — justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence, and generosity — with love always at the center.
Upcoming Event
Tennessee Solidarity Summit
September 18–20, 2026 · Neshoba Unitarian Universalist Church, Cordova (Memphis) Tennessee
TUUCAN is proud to co-sponsor the Tennessee Solidarity Summit, hosted by UU the Vote. Join us for a weekend of learning, training, and relationship-building to grow our collective power for justice across Tennessee. Multiple working groups are required to make the Solidarity Summit a success. These include: Communications and Promotion, Logistics and Safety, Programming, and Volunteer Recruitment and Training. Weekly planning meetings are scheduled between now and September 18. Volunteers are welcome. We are seeking representation from each of the 14 Tennessee Unitarian Universalist churches, congregations, and fellowships. Group transportation (by bus) is being planned from Knoxville and Nashville. We are expecting up to 100 attendees - you are invited to join us as we live and amplify our shared values of justice, equity, transformation, plurality, interdependence, and generosity, with love at the center.
Who We Are
TUUCAN brings together Unitarian Universalist congregations from across Tennessee to face the issues that affect our whole state. By pooling our resources and supporting one another, we turn shared values into collective action — from the statehouse to communities recovering from disaster.
Formed in 2025 after two years of grassroots organizing, TUUCAN now connects UUs in congregations spanning Tennessee. Together we advocate for justice, respond to crises, share what we learn, and build a stronger statewide community of faith in action.

What We Do
Legislative Advocacy
We show up at the Tennessee statehouse and in our communities, advocating for justice, equity, and the dignity of every person.
Disaster Response
When crises and natural disasters strike, our congregations coordinate to help neighbors across the state recover.
Resource Sharing
We pool knowledge, tools, and people — so no congregation has to do justice work alone.
Community Building
Through monthly gatherings and our annual Fall Flock, we strengthen the ties that connect Tennessee UUs.
Get Involved
Whether you belong to a Tennessee UU congregation or simply feel called to justice work, there is a place for you in TUUCAN. Reach out to learn how to connect with the network.
We gather on the third Saturday of each month at 10 AM via Zoom, and in person each fall for our statewide Flock.
